Midge Ure

Midge Ure was one of the key members of the new band Ultravox Midge began his career with salvation a a Glasgow-based group that became the bubblegum band Slik in 1974. Upset in the change of direction, Ure left the band to join the Rich Kids, a punk-pop group led by former Sex Pistol.

In 1985, Ultravox was put on hiatus and Ure began to pursue a full-time solo career.

Do they know its Christmas was created based on how the Ethiopian kids didn't know it was Christmas, since it was such a dry and deserted place without any indication that was was Christmas. So these kids just thought it was a normal day they would just wake up to no presents and no lights, but that is what most of the world would wake up to the cheerful ness of the day and the presents they got to open the kids in Ethiopia didn't get to experience any of it.
