Midge Ure grew up in Cambuslang and started out in Glasgow bands as a teenager in the late 60s before going to London to follow his dreams, becoming a key member of Ultravox after gaining attention with Salvation, later Slik, in 1974. Displeased with Slik’s direction, he joined the punk-pop group Rich Kids, led by former Sex Pistol bassist Glen Matlock. After their only album in 1978, Ure briefly joined the Misfits before forming Visage, leaving to replace Gary Moore in Thin Lizzy. He then joined Ultravox in 1980, driving their mainstream success and working as a producer. In 1985 he led the Live Aid concerts with Bob Geldof that became a global phenomenon.
I spoke to Midge about Glasgow, synthesisers and Crolla’s ice cream.
