Midge Ure is one of the most successful musicians of his
generation, selling more than 20 million albums over the last five
decades. During the 1970s he played in various rock and pop bands
around Scotland before moving to London to join ex-Sex Pistol Glen
Matlock's Rich Kids, later playing guitar for Thin Lizzy, forming
Visage and joining Ultravox. In the 1980s he had phenomenal
worldwide success with Ultravox and as a solo artist. He also
co-wrote one of the best-selling singles of all time, Band Aid's
'Do They Know It's Christmas'. He co-founded the Band Aid charity
and is still involved with it today. This book is a stunning
collection of photographs taken by Midge on his travels between
1980 and 1985. Travelling with a Canon A-1 camera, he documented
his work in the recording studio, on tour with Ultravox, behind the
scenes whilst directing promotional videos (for Ultravox and other
artists such as Phil Lynott, Fun Boy Three, Bananarama) and
holidays in far-flung places and road trips. This is a fascinating
travelogue of a working musician. All photographs have been
carefully scanned and retouched from the original negative to show
the images in their glorious best, and every element of this book
has been produced to the highest specification. Midge is still
active today writing and recording music, touring around the world
as well as presenting TV and Radio programs.
Must 22 is a series of inspirational travel books which combine
accurate information on key locations in individual countries and
outstanding photography. The books are carefully packaged by
awarded designers and written by a team of experienced travel
writers. The Must 22 series is designed to inspire the armchair
traveller and to provide a reliable source of information for the
visitor.This edition reveals twenty-two places you just can't miss
when you come to Iceland. The island is sparsely populated and the
enormity of nature dominates it wherever you look - in contrast to
the warmth of the people who make themselves known at every
opportunity, parading the cultural heritage of the 1,200 years that
the island has been populated. Even once you've seen these 22
places, you're still far from uncovering all of Iceland's secrets.
But you will have come a little closer to understanding why this
enigmatic rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is one of the
most peculiar, yet more charming places in the world.
