A Thought for Valentine's Day (& Midge Ure...)

Love it or hate it, St Valentine's Day is a celebration in the yearly calendar that is certainly hard to ignore. Amongst all the hearts, flowers and chocolate we found a little romance story of our own...

It's February 14th 1976, can you remember what you were doing? Where you were? Whose name was going to be sealed with a kiss on your Valentine card?
 
Can you remember the 'sway-along' sound that was coming from the radio that day?
For one glorious week over Valentine's Day the romantic sounds of Slik's  'Forever and Ever' reached Number 1 in the UK charts. Although the band burned out quickly, they left  behind a  "beautiful dark and haunting track with gothic chanting vocals and a
great doo-wop chorus".
 We suggest you have a listen, do some reminiscing...

Then why not buy tickets to see the man behind the band, Midge Ure himself, coming to  Airdrie Town Hall, March 24th, 7.30pm. Take a trip down memory lane. Maybe his chart hit, from 37 years ago holds a special place for you, maybe you're still with your partner from all those years ago?
 
Whatever your reasons, we can guarantee that Midge will put on an excellent show, full of classic hits from melodic Slik numbers to the New Wave rock anthems of Ultravox, plus his outstanding solo material.

Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day...
