Currently falling down an Ultravox and Midge Ure rabbit hole and so glad this little snippet popped up. Midge, your mum sounds like an amazing woman. You followed your heart and gave us your soul, endless thanks.
WHAT?!? I was in living in England then. But, now I have to see who being advertised to perform on Jan 20th, 2011, because if they said Midge was showing up... I would have been there!
The history of Midge-san was also very interesting. And in the image, the city of Glasgow that Midge-san describes is beautiful and made me want to go there.
For the UK : the vast majority of music sales are now in streaming. ( for 2023 : streaming £ 2.2bn , physical £311m ) . CD volumes continue to fall steadily - though sales value is helped by inflation and deluxe reissues
Should have been a bigger and more acclaimed band. Shame that 1) their album's production was horribly muddy when it needed to be crisp and 2) "Ghosts" wan't the hit it deserved to be.
Silk never last long as a band. Forever and ever jump on glam rock trend when it faded same with reqiurm prog rock was fading tge 3td single tge kid a punk trying to jump on the punk bandwagon but people heard the other singles confused the audience and fan base
Seriously, recording the screen at an oblique angle & nowhere near the speakers, which are turned up too high to compensate? You could have clipped a screengrab of it in several easy ways.
