Of course, this fine meal was washed down with one of the best beers in Poland:

Midge Ure Live at Warsaw Progresja 4th May 2018

Was nice to catch up with Midge Ure and his band again last night.


Like many others I guess, I was mainly there for the old Ultravox tunes and thoroughly enjoyed 'One Small Day'; 'Vienna'; 'Hymn'; 'Dancing with Tears in My Eyes'; 'The Voice';  'All Stood Still'; 'Passing Strangers' etc.


The Ultravox tunes take me back to my mid-teenage/late teenage years so they have a special deep meaning for me.
