Midge Ure today apologised to fans in Ipswich for being unable to hang around signing autographs due to a stalker warning from police.

The normal office conversation of “what are you doing tonight” started,

ME: “I’m off to a gig tonight”
MUPPET: “oh that’s nice, who are you seeing”
ME: “band called Ultravox”
MUPPET: “Ohh I know them, they be that new dance band int they”
ME: walks off

Maybe they are just young.

Did they play Vienna over and over for 2 hours?

No only 1 rendition with a few minor tweaks to accommodate the reduced vocal range

Cool !! Enjoy

Oh I did: an evening made of awesome pie with epic sauce


The one down point was when my teenage crush on Midge evaporated in a moment of “blimey your old enough to be my dad”

no they alternate with 'Dancing with tears in my eyes' sorry that's the limit of my Ultravox expertise.

My favourite. I was a big David Sylvian fan.

All the chicks loved Sylvian.

Serious question (thinking back to my youth in the early 80's). Why did the girlies like Sylvian ? Was it because he looked like a girl, or at least had quite feminine features ?

I always thought he sounded a lot like Bryan Ferry.

That wouldn't happen to have been Forbidden Colours, would it?

If I remember correctly, it was a dirge called 'Nightporter' but for some reason i quite liked it.....

?.. after a while she started a craze for 'Japan' and they were ******* awful, with the exception of one or two...no, one track

I had to start 'liking' Ultravox around 1980 to assist with getting the knickers of a girl I was seeing at the time.

It wasn't that unpleasant an experience (Ultravox and getting the knickers off the girl). Unfortunately, after a while she started a craze for 'Japan' and they were ******* awful, with the exception of one or two...no, one track.
