Midge Ure w/Paul Young

Expand

Midge Ure had already had a rich and varied career in music by the time he became the frontman of the British new wave band Ultavox, having already played in storied bands including Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids and Visage. Under his leadership Ultravox became one of the most consistent British synth-pop bands of the early ’80s, turning out seven Top 10 albums and 17 Top 40 singles, including their hit “Vienna.” Since leaving the group in 1988, he’s released seven solo albums, including last year’s Orchestrated, which features orchestral reworkings of songs from both Ultravox and his solo career. Ure will be joined at this show by a fellow veteran of British new wave scene, Paul Young, whose distinctive baritone voice has made him an in-demand soul singer.
