Midge Ure & Band Electronica Pressemitteilung vom 31.08.2020 Midge Ure & Band Electronica Live in Concert 2021 – brandneue Show! MIDGE URE & BAND ELECTRONICA Live in Concert 2021 mit NEUER Show! Auf Grund der Corona- Pandemie verschoben... ...Aber wie heißt es so schön aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben. Das Konzert in Paderborn in der Paderhalle, welches am 16.12.2020 stattgefunden hätte wird am 24.11.2021 nachgeholt. Alle bereits gekauften Tickets behalten ihre Gültigkeit... Der Umbruch zu Beginn der 1980er Jahre war entscheidend für die Musikszene. Während in verschiedenen Bereichen wie Gesellschaft, Politik, Mode und Kultur ein riesiger Umschwung stattfand, kam auch frischer Wind in die Musikszene. Als Synthesizer anfingen, die neuen Lieder zu dominieren und Musikvideos den Popcharts ein ganz neues Aussehen verliehen, war besonders einer maßgeblich am Wandel beteiligt: Midge Ure. Der Brite setze mit der Single „Fade To Grey“ von der Band Visage aus gleichnamigen Debütalbum und „Vienna“ von der Band Ultravox, ebenfalls aus gleichnamigen Album, neue Maßstäbe. Als Alleskönner hat er als Songwriter und Produzent an diesen und an unzähligen weiteren Hits mitgewirkt. Midge Ure`s Talent für rockige Popmusik gepaart mit seinem elektronischen Herz brachten futuristische neue Klänge auf den Musikmarkt der ganzen Welt. "Der Herbst 1979 war ein zentraler Punkt in meinem beruflichen Werdegang", erklärt Midge Ure. „In den letzten zwei Jahren bin ich von der Pop-Band (Slik) zur Post-Punk-Band (The Rich Kids) zu einem Bestandteil für Thin Lizzy als Gitarrist gewachsen. Während des Herbstes bis zum Winter 1979, als ich mit Billy Currie am Visage-Projekt arbeitete, wurde ich zu Ultravox eingeladen. Die Arbeit, die wir in diesem Winter am Vienna Album gemacht haben, war ein aufregender Kreativitätsschub, wie ich ihn noch nie erlebt hatte.“ Auch der Uhrenhersteller „Swatch“ war von der Musik von Midge Ure begeistert und nahm „Breathe“ als Soundtrack eines Swatch-TV-Werbespots, der Song erreichte damit einen weltweiten Kultstatus und verhalf der Firma somit zu ihrer erfolgreichsten Werbekampagne überhaupt. Pressemitteilung vom 31.08.2020 Midge Ure & Band Electronica Live in Concert 2021 – brandneue Show! Doch nicht nur musikalisch, auch sozial ist das Multitalent überdurchschnittlich engagiert. Gemeinsam mit Bob Geldof ist Midge Ure Gründungsmitglied der Band „Aid Trust“, die zur Linderung der Hungersnot in Äthiopien gegründet wurde. So organisierte er die Konzerte „Live Aid“ und „Live 8“ und war somit die treibende Kraft hinter den Benefizkonzerten. Außerdem ist er Botschafter der Kinderhilfsorganisation „Save the Children“. Midge Ure erfindet sich immer wieder neu und bietet seinem Publikum großartige Konzerte. 2020 kommt Midge Ure gemeinsam mit der Band Electronica mit einer brandneuen Show auf große Deutschlandtournee! 24.11.2021 Paderborn - PaderHalle Tickets gibt es ab 40€ auf www.LB-EVENTS.de, telefonisch unter 0234 / 947 19 40 und an allen bekannten Vorverkaufsstellen. .

  • Live Among the White Trash: a History of Nono----Manman on Stage
    Live Among the White Trash: A history of nono----manman on stage “There are no No-Man concerts scheduled for the foreseeable future.” (from the official no-man website) Anyone who has followed no-man’s career over the previous ten years or so will be acutely aware that the band does not play live. If no-man “exist” as a band at all – and their infrequent releases mean they are more an ongoing understanding between two men rather than an active unit – it is only in the studio. Over a series of uncompromising albums no-man’s music has become ever more complex, yet ironically, “live sounding” than the release which proceeded it. But this organic “liveness” is mainly an illusion; the feeling of spontaneity often the result of numerous edits and takes which only the precision of studio work can produce. Others have tried to perform equally difficult music live: Radiohead ambitiously thrusting their clicks-and- cuts post-rock upon the world’s stadiums, for example. But for a variety of reasons, no-man simply haven’t tried – at least, not since 1994 and not until a one-off performance in 2006. The only comparable case is Talk Talk’s retreat into the studio in the late 1980s. Both bands have undoubtedly crafted their best work without going near an audience. 1 But it wasn’t always so. no-man were once very much a live act, promoting singles and albums with dates and undertaking two full-blown tours – though they rarely played outside London, never went further north than Newcastle, and never played outside Great Britain.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

He simply never fits the archetype: his best album, both Gin terms of artistic and commercial success, The Pleasure Principle (1979), has no guitars on it; his career was brief; and he retired at his peak. Therefore, he has received little critical attention; the only book-length analysis of his work is a slim volume from Paul Sutton (2018), who strains to fit him somehow into the rock canon. With few signposts at hand—and his own open refusal to be a star—writing about Numan is admittedly a challenge. In fact, Numan is a good test case for questioning the traditional belief in the authenticity of individual artistic genius.

  • What's It Like to Be Black and Irish?
    “What’s it like to be black and Irish?” “Like a pint of Guinness.” The above quote is taken from an interview with Phil Lynott, the charismatic lead singer of the Celtic rock band Thin Lizzy, on Gay Byrne’s ‘The Late Late Show’. Lynott’s often playful and bold responses to such questions about his identity served to mask his overwhelming feelings of insecurity and ambivalent sense of belonging. As an illegitimate black child brought up in the 1950s in a strict Catholic family in Crumlin, a working-class district of Dublin, Lynott was seen to have a “paradoxical personality” (Bridgeman, qtd. in Thomson 4): his upbringing imbued him “with an acute sense of national and gender identity” (Smyth 39), yet his skin color and illegitimacy made him the target of racial and social abuse in a predominantly white and conservative Ireland. For Lynott, becoming a rockstar offered an opportunity to reinvent himself and be whoever he wanted to be. While he played up to the rock and roll lifestyle in which he was embedded, Lynott is often considered to have been a man trapped inside a caricature (Thomson 301). Geldof (qtd. in Putterford 182) believes that this rocker persona was Lynott’s ultimate downfall and led to his untimely death at just 36 years of age in 1986. For all his swagger and bravado, behind the mask, Lynott was a troubled, young man searching for a place to belong. While many books have been written about the life of Phil Lynott (e.g. Putterford; Lynott; Thomson), few have drawn attention to the notion of identity and the way in which music provided Lynott with an outlet to explore his self.

  • Midge Ure (Ultravox)
    MUSIC He took us to Vienna, fed the world and now Ultravox frontman Midge Ure is back, writes Sally Browne SPARK t had never really been done before. ‘‘Synthpop’’ and ‘‘ballad’’ were two BURNS words that just didn’t go together. I But in 1981 UK band Ultravox released a single that would become a worldwide hit. It was called Vienna and it combined the grandeur of grand piano and strings with haunting, spare synthesiser beats. The song captured a generation, stayed for a month at No. 2 on the UK charts and was awarded Single of the Year at the Brit Awards for 1981. The video, filmed in its namesake Vienna, also set the trend for music videos to come. It was shot by noted Australian director Russell Mulcahy, who also made classic videos for acts including Duran Duran, Elton John, Culture Club, Bonnie Tyler and Queen. Dramatic and cinematic, the film clip for Vienna was reminiscent of noir film The Third Man, set in spy-filled post-war Austria and starring Orson Welles. The young Scotsman who had penned the lyrics to the unusual song had never been to Vienna until that time. ‘‘It wasn’t until we actually went to the city, I realised that what I’d imagined in my head was kind of real, this decaying Still playing: Ultravox elegance, this beautiful city,’’ Midge Ure frontman Midge Ure has a new says today. album after all these years. The band had taken a big risk to shoot the video there. They took out a loan of 7000 pounds to fund it.
