MIDGE URE
The Man Who Sold The World

Scottish singer Midge Ure is coming to PAARD! After being a guitarist and vocalist in the successful band Ultravox , he definitively continued as a solo artist in 1988, producing hits such as * The Man Who Sold The World* and * If I Was *. The band Ultravox had a major influence on the New Romantic and electropop movements of the early 1980s. Their successful trademark was the combination of Midge's powerful guitar riffs with compelling synthesizer motifs, enigmatic imagery, and cutting-edge visuals. Songs like * Reap the Wild Wind* , * Dancing With Tears in My Eyes* , *Love's Great Adventure* , and the timeless classic *Vienna* from 1981 were worldwide hits and reached the charts with impressive regularity, not only with singles but also with seven consecutive top ten albums in just six years.
