Midge Ure Returns To N. America: Songs, Questions & Answers Tour
Soundtrack 1978-2019 Out September 20th
 

September 16, 2019, New York, NY: Grammy and Brit Award winning musician Midge Ure returns to the North American intimate venue circuit with his open and honest, Songs, Questions and Answers Tour 2020.

Direct from the hugely successful UK leg of the tour Midge will be playing alongside multi-instrumentalist Tony Solis, performing acoustic versions of his catalogue and taking questions, and maybe the odd song request from the audience.
 
There is plenty to talk about too while covering a 40 year professional career, Ultravox, Solo work, Band Aid, his Orchestrated album from 2017....and anything the audience can think of to ask him!
 
This is as close as you can possibly get to the man, his life and his music. An event as real, honest, uplifting and poignant as his songs.

Midge Ure will also be releasing Soundtrack 1978-2019 on September 20th via Chrysalis Records. The 32-song collection encompasses four decades of Ure’s rich and varied career. In addition to many classic Ultravox and Midge Ure solo tracks, this collection also features previously unreleased material. One of these songs is a new remix of 2014’s 'Dark Dark Night', co-written and performed with Moby. 

The collection also features collaborations with the likes of Kate Bush (Sister And Brother), Sir George Martin (orchestral arrangement on All In One Day), former Japan member Mick Karn (After A Fashion), and Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory (Personal Heaven). 

The double CD version also comes with an accompanying DVD. The DVD features video promos from the Rich Kids and Midge’s solo work and collaborations. Later videos by his Band Electronica, and bonus documentaries. 

The collection will also be available to buy as a special limited edition clear, single vinyl LP, which will feature the Chrysalis solo singles. Only available through Midge’s online store: http://www.midgeure.co.uk/
