Midge Ure at Live 8
Midge Ure (born James Ure on October 10, 1953 in
Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland) is a rock and roll guitarist, singer
and songwriter from Scotland, who had particular success in the 1970s
and 1980s.
Beginning his career with bubblegum pop-rock band Slik, Midge Ure would
go on to play in The Rich Kids and Thin Lizzy before replacing John Foxx
as singer of electronic new wave band Ultravox in 1979. Shortly afterwards,
they had a huge UK hit with "Vienna", and became one of Britain's
top bands for several years. Also later that year, Ure also formed the
band Visage.
In 1984, Ure co-wrote, with Bob Geldof, the Band Aid hit, "Do They
Know It's Christmas?". He was one of the few featured stars who did
not sing solo on the recording. The following year Ure scored his one
and only solo UK number one single with "If I Was". This was
followed by an album The Gift. With Ure's mind clearly on other matters,
Ultravox took second place and soon dissolved.
Ure's solo career continued into the 1990s with sporadic success, although
"Breathe" was an international hit single, helped by its inclusion
in a TV advertising campaign for Swatch watches.
Midge Ure recently organized the Live 8 concerts with Bob Geldof with
the aim of pressuring G8 leaders into following his recipe for ending
world poverty. In 2005 he was made an Officer of the Order of the British
Empire (OBE) for services to music and charity.
Ure has been married twice: to actress and writer Annabel Giles (with
whom he has one daughter, Molly) and to Sheridan Ure (with whom he has
three daughters, Kitty, Ruby and Flossie).
Midge Ure's daughter Molly has followed her father into the music industry,
as the guitarist and vocalist of all-girl group The Faders.
