Today, I'm joined by musician Midge Ure. With a career spanning over forty years, Midge has been one of the most influential artists of his time. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Midge enjoyed enormous success in a number of bands, including Slik, Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy, Visage and as the frontman of Ultravox. Along with Bob Geldof, he was also a key figure in the now historic charity project Band Aid which raised millions of pounds for Africa during the 1980s. Midge has also had an equally successful solo career and he still records and tours regularly. I have always been a fan of his music and I thought it would be great to have a chat with him about some aspects of his career, so I hope you are sitting comfortably and happy to stay with us.
