I absolutely love Ultravox, but struggle to get into Midge's solo output to the same degree.

The thing that sticks out for me in @Foxhound 's video post is the drum/cymbal sounds are obviously from an electric kit, just doesn't sound quite as good (speaking as a drummer who has a leccie kit at home but real accoustic kits for gigs)

I'm a big fan of Midge Ure/Ultravox

My good lady and I fulfilled another of her musical ambitions and saw Midge Ure at our local venue.

The guy is a machine, word and note perfect. Totally blown away by the whole gig.

Footage from the gig (not mine) is here

Also a big fan of Mint Julep who create songs in a similar dreamy style to CT

That's some rabbit hole you've sent me down, Nick. Both great but I think Mint Julep edging it for me. I could listen to both bands all day.

bloody  good ... well  done  sir

Thank you for your generous donation Mark, I'm sure you understand what a worthwhile cause it is.

 

That I do Michael. Though this vet hasn't needed support, I know some who have had to seek support beyond the NHS. That support is largely only available thanks to those volunteers like you. Thank you! 

The least place to leave the brake vans.  At least the jacket didn't end up in the dry cleaners or in a cupboard


Nice find though

Uber cool find. Well done!
