Really?
You can’t leave it at that….
Tell us more….
I was living in Germany at the time and ended up in some dodgy club (there were a lot of those) where fuelled by either Grolsh or Sekt I berated him for a cancelled gig in Hanover. He was very nice and bought me a drink. Anyhoo, I only had eyes for Warren Cann 
Other than hard of hearing sadomasochists, I cannot imagine anybody who would voluntarily listen to her retail tirades..
Surprisingly they haven’t given her a mic, probably afraid a younger model, will say what she really thinks
Oh that was a nice trip down Memory Lane. Might be an Ultravox afternoon! Mr X …….
I am just assuming she was a new model. She could have been a member of the production staff, for all I know. I only briefly flicked on at about twenty past the hour. Whoever she was, she didn't look happy even though she had to pretend they were a great fit.
that brings back memories of listening to the superb 'the collection' album in my dads cavalier going to away rugby matches as a kid, nearly 40 years ago now! time really does fly.
It does. And the collection is fantastic.
Lament and Hymn are two of my favourites. And I can remember my ex and I driving to Vienna and playing ‘Vienna’ on our CD player in the car as we arrived. God, we thought we were cool…..It does. And the collection is fantastic.
I remember ‘Passing Strangers’ coming out as the single after Vienna, thinking it was the best thing I’d heard, and it slipping away without becoming a hit. On one of the live albums, Midge introduces it by saying it more or less lost them all they’d made from ‘Vienna’.
I bet you all know this, but I only just found out Midge is called that because his name is Jim. And Jim backwards is Mij….
He was very diplomatic about Geldof’s utter musical inability when making ‘Do they Know It’s Christmas ?’ Diplomatic, but left you in no doubt that Midge had to do all the musical work on it!
Anyone else love ‘Lament’.
An old GF of mine was always watching ‘Loves Great Adventure’. Should’ve been a clue - she emigrated and went to live in a jungle (honestly!)
like you say, time flies. But Ultravox and Gary Numan (especially ‘Are Friends…’)still sound like the future to me…
Hiroshima from Foxx’s Ultravox. The Ure version - Lament, Sleepwalk, The Voice, Hymn are all up there. This is my favourite….from the reunion...
I didn't know that fact about the midge part Prof, interesting to know, had never crossed my mind his name might be something diff. As you say passing strangers was a cracking one was one of those albums that could be played over and over, there wasn't a bad track on it. Music was so much better in the 80s and the bands had real characters. I couldn't tell you what is in the charts todayIt does. And the collection is fantastic.

One Small Day, how did I forget that
the Duchamp Lennie (L'Envie but I think spellchecker Lennie is better!) would become a family heirloom that will be passed down for centuries
, the Duchess of Burnley said so!!
