Steve sits down with Midge Ure for a look back at some of the most memorable music of the New Wave era. Midge talks about his upcoming collection Chapters: The Best Of Midge Ure, revisiting songs from Ultravox, Visage and his solo work, and what it was like to step back into “Fade To Grey” and record a new version more than 40 years later. He also looks back at Band Aid and Live Aid, including the story of how Howard Jones talked him into performing “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” during a summer tour.
The conversation also turns to Midge’s latest album A Man of Two Worlds and the experience of creating new music while reflecting on the music that came before it. Along the way, Midge shares stories behind some of his best-known songs, memorable performances and the different chapters of his musical journey, while also talking about what’s ahead and the possibility of returning to the U.S. for more shows.
