- “I’m a Walter Mitty who’s actually done it.” Growing up in a tenement on the outskirts of Glasgow, Midge Ure dreamt of being a rock star, even though it seemed impossible for a working-class kid like him. But he had something special.
At just 18, he got his first break as the guitarist for the pop band Slik and went on to be part of several influential bands in the 1970s and 80s, including Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy and Ultravox. Alongside Bob Geldof, he set up Band Aid, collaborating on the 1984 hit Do They Know It's Christmas? With a career spanning over 50 years, he has firmly established himself as a rock legend, making all his dreams come true.

Midge is such a nice genuine man, love his music
Great musician and the unsung hero of Live and Band aid
Awesome ….Midge is a true ledgend👍
In Canada my radio station manager pulled me up in '91 for playing Cold, Cold Heart twice an hour. I told him, "You don't understand anything, do you?"
Thanks James I saw Midge in 79 with Thin Lizzy seen him solo he is a great musician and and enjoyable listen Thanks
Saw Midge live on a solo tour and many years later finally in Ultravox, always great shows.
I'm a massive, massive Midge Ure and Ultravox fan. Really enjoyed this interview, very relaxed and entertaining.
I smiled all the way through this video. A genuine artist being interviewed by a genuine journalist. Great stuff. Thank you
What a Legend 👏👏
the most amazing band next to Peter Gabriel ..Ultravox..i have all their albums.. love their music love Midge ..wow..great music videos too!
He's one of the most brilliant artists of this century meet him once very nice guy going to his concert December Birmingham.
Every word Midge-san says is wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️
Saw Rich Kids in 78, great underrated rock 'n 'roll band. Met Midge after the show, lovely friendly and genuine bloke.
When the 20 years older guy is the more energetic and enthusiastic one and has a beautiful accent😂😂, long live Mitch!! Greetings from Vienna
What a great interview a proper rock star with a passion.
Haven’t seen him in ages… last time I saw him must have been in the 80’s had a tendency to wander around in the fog telling everyone he was in Vienna.
And it meant nothing to him.
So mystic and soulful.
My first Ultravox album was so The Collection. Also a great interview!
Going to see him in San Diego for a second time. Love it!
I don’t know who James is (Aussie here) but I personally thought James asked all the excellent right questions that I’ve never heard asked about/to Midge.
5star interview James.
As for Midge….I’ve been a fan since Sleepwalk came out and also Visage - Fade to Grey a few months later.
Delightful, an absolute musical legend and a wonderful man, 🙌.
Like deployed 👍
First saw Midge in ‘74 with Slik. Saw him again a few years ago as a solo artist and he is an excellent performer. There were some other big names on the bill but when they announced Midge and he walked on, the whole place sat up a bit straighter and the atmosphere went up more than a few notches.
Massive fan of both versions of Ultravox. The Foxx era, and the Ure era. A highly underrated band, who attracted unfair criticism in their heyday. Punks disliked them for being too arty. PostPunks disliked them for not being arty enough. And the New Romantics saw them, as too old. Musical tribalism. You can’t beat it.
Haven't seen many interviews recently - thank you. looking forward to seeing him soon, last time was in The Tube studio in around 1985....
What a cool dude MU is.
Mr O’Brian and Mr Ure thank you so much…
Can you interview Mary and Mungo next please?
They're stuck in the lift.
Proper fab! ❤
thank you very much. Excellent interview with an important artist. I would love to know what watch he is wearing
Great interview, thanks.

Followed Midge since I was 12 years old I'm now 57 my number 1 idol would love to chat with him on my radio show that would be a dream come true can you help me to get in touch with Midge please James kind regards Warren x
J.O'B.. nobody better.
period.
Very enjoyable, and a very nice ending
A bit different! Excellent!
Such a fantastic interview! Thanks for this, James!
How is he not a Sir?!
Very interesting
A very interesting and entertaining interview. I know it's not O'Brien's brief, but I feel sometimes that he could dig a bit deeper and that he too often revels in his own thoughts, which is fine for the radio show but not an interview. Unless I'm wrong! Which I probably am.
Great interview
Dark at 3 in the afternoon? It doesn't get light!
Gary Numan would be great for this.
Super 👌
❤❤❤❤
Some of the Currie reVox was ok I thought, Ingenuity. Kind of wonder how things got so Italian like it was songs from the High Castle.
John Foxx
we fade to bald

One of the most depressing socialists in the world interviews a "working-class kid" who literally made it from the bottom to "rock legend" status through the fruits of his labour, i.e. capitalism. Oh the irony. (Nothing against Ure, I just don't like O'Brian the angry socialist).
You know Midge is a socialist too, right?
Are you dancing with tears in your eyes after the election result last week 😢😢😢?
