Midge Ure
b. 1954
Born on the outskirts of Glasgow, Midge Ure, 69, had a UK No 1 with his band Slik in 1975. He joined Rich Kids and then became frontman of Ultravox, whose hits included 1981’s Vienna. In 1980, he co-wrote and produced Fade to Grey for Visage, and in 1985 he had a solo hit with If I Was. In 1984, he collaborated with Bob Geldof to record Do They Know It’s Christmas? for Ethiopian famine relief, which led to Live Aid.
