His stage name, Midge, is a phonetic reversal of Jim. Ure enjoyed particular success in the 1970s and 1980s in bands including Slik, Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids, Visage, and as the second bandleader of Ultravox after John Foxx had left, carrying the band into the high charts positions for the six following years before disbanding it. In 1984, he co-wrote and produced the charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" putting together for the occasion the supergroup Band Aid. The single has sold 3.7 million copies in the UK at first release, and has become a staple of Christmas songs compilations ever since. The song is the second-highest-selling single in UK chart history. Ure co-organised Band Aid and the events Live Aid and Live 8 with Bob Geldof. He acts as a trustee for the charity and also serves as an ambassador for Save the Children. Ure is the producer and writer of several other synth-pop and new wave hit singles of the 1980s, including "Fade to Grey" (1980) by Visage and the Ultravox signature songs "Vienna" (1980), "Hymn" (1983) and "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" (1984). He achieved his first UK top 10 solo hit in 1982 with "No Regrets". In 1985, his solo debut studio album The Gift reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and yielded the UK Singles Chart number-one single "If I Was". He also co-wrote Phil Lynott's "Yellow Pearl", which served as the theme of Top of the Pops for much of the 1980s. http://www.midgeure.co.uk THIS EPISODE : Ultravox - Vienna Ultravox - Rage In Eden Ultravox - Quartet Ultravox - Monument Ultravox - Lament Ultravox - U-Vox Ultravox - Brilliant Visage - Visage Visage - The Anvil Midge Ure - The Gift Midge Ure - Pure Midge Ure - Answers to Nothing Midge Ure - Fragile Midge Ure - Breathe Wolfgang Flur - Magazine 1 Rusty Egan - Welcome to the Dancefoor X-Perience - Lost in Paradise Midge Ure / Chris Cross / Warren Cann / Billy Currie / Visage / John Foxx / Ultravox / Conny Plank / Visage / Krautrock / Ultravox! / Rusty Egan / Band Aid / Live Aid / Bob Geldof / Kate Bush / Slik / Thin Lizzy / Rich Kids / Steve Strange / Fade to Grey / Blitz Club / Yellow Pearl / George Martin / Peter Duggal / Wolfgang Flur / Kraftwerk / Mick Karn / After a Fashion vienna ultravox.
