Shit is putting a shine on it. Remember the days of Mickey Droy? LOL

Heaven 17,Magazine,Japan more early 80s bands

I watched Ashes to Ashes the other day on Virgin Media's 'on demand' feature.It was ok,but it's only started and i'm sure it'll get better.I was only 10 years young in 1981 and i've even spotted the deliberate errors.

I'm sure the first Sony Walkmans came out in the UK circa 83/84
Brixton and Toxteth happened after Charles and Di's wedding
Audi Quattro's??
The music is more or less 80's ish.Not sure though about The Clash and The Stranglers.

Still,Ashes to Ashes is still worth watching for the sexy Keeley Hawes from Spooks fame.

I've got Life On Mars on DVD box set and it's absoloutely amazing.Good music and good hard Police tactics.

He was with ultravox and also in slick who had a number one in the
70's with forever and ever. Also think he played in the rich kids with
some of the sex pistols mob

He was in the early Sex Pistols line-up, I think- pre Rotten and Vicious.

Midge Ure was involved with 3 Great Iconic Tunes of 1981 - Vienna with Ultravox (though I prefer their mid-81 to mid-83 stuff myself), Fade To Grey by Visage (and the 2 subsequent singles Mind Of A Toy & Visage, I understand he was not very involved in their 1982 album The Anvil) and he had a big hand in creating Phil Lynott's Yellow Pearl which of course was famous as the Top Of The Pops theme in the great 81-86 era.
He had also replaced Gary Moore as a stand-in guitarrist for Thin Lizzy when Gary Moore walked out in mid-79, so for a while he was very productive - and at a pivotal time in UK pop too.
