Pretty sure he's Scottish. And to my knowledge Midge Ure was never in Thin Lizzy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundian Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 That's the one! Pretty sure he's Scottish. And to my knowledge Midge Ure was never in Thin Lizzy.... Midge was in Thin Lizzy, he co-wrote Yellow Pearl (the TOTP theme music) with Phil Lynott while he was in the band. And was it not vocalist he turned down?

Again I reckon it's MIdge because the question master is Jester:] I googled the Sex Pistols thing just now and it says he was offered the singing job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great band....Before Midge Ure, John Foxx was the vocallist for Ultravox, in their more punky days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was it not vocalist he turned down?[/quote']Yep, he was offered both vocalist and guitarist jobs, and he was in the Rich Kids too. He turned down the Sex Pistols job to stay with Slik and freely admits they might not have been as big if he had been in them. Midge played a few stints with Lizzy playing guitar after one of Gary Moore's walk outs and keyboards later on. CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
