All You Need To Know About Midge Ure

Midge Ure is a Scottish musician, singer-songwriter, and producer best known as the frontman of Ultravox and for co-writing the 1984 charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas?. Rising to prominence in the late 1970s, Ure played a pivotal role in shaping the new wave and synth-pop movements, with Ultravox’s dramatic, synth-driven sound defining hits like Vienna, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes, and Hymn. Prior to Ultravox, he was a member of bands like Slik, The Rich Kids, and Thin Lizzy, showcasing his versatility across rock and electronic genres.

Beyond his band work, Ure enjoyed a successful solo career, with his 1985 debut album The Gift spawning the hit single If I Was. He was also instrumental in organizing Live Aid alongside Bob Geldof, further cementing his legacy in music and humanitarian efforts. Ure continues to tour and release music, maintaining a strong presence in the industry with acoustic performances and electronic reimaginings of his classic work. His contributions to music have earned him lasting respect, and his influence on 1980s synth-pop remains undeniable.

Top 3 Midge Ure Songs

Here are three of Midge Ure's most iconic songs:

1."If I Was" (1985) – A standout from his debut solo album The Gift, this song reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. It’s a beautifully melodic and introspective track that showcases Ure’s signature synth-driven style and emotional lyricism.

2. "Vienna" (1981, with Ultravox) – Arguably Ultravox’s most famous song, Vienna is a dramatic, synth-heavy anthem with haunting vocals and orchestral flourishes. It became a defining track of the new wave era, despite controversially only reaching No. 2 on the UK charts.

3. "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" (1984, with Ultravox) – This melancholic yet powerful song tells a haunting story of impending nuclear disaster. With its driving beat and emotional lyrics, it became one of Ultravox’s biggest hits and a staple of 1980s synth-pop.
