The musical icon who found fame as part of groups such as Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids, Visage, and Ultravox - as well as co-writing the Band Aid charity Christmas single Do They Know It's Christmas? - will be at the Gatehouse Theatre.

A quarter of a century ago, Midge presented a theatre show with a Q&A element to it and will revisit that concept with an updated version.

Accompanying Midge are his multi-instrumentalists Cole Stacey and Joe O'Keefe. Stacey and O’Keefe will also open the show playing their own original material as India Electric Company.

There is plenty to talk about, covering a 40-year professional career as well as anything else the audience can think of to ask him.

Midge will perform songs from the Ultravox back catalogue in the show alongside his solo work. There will also be an opportunity for suggestions from the crowd to pick a song for him to perform.

Tickets for the show are available from Midge Ure’s official website.
