Ultravox at Oxford New Theatre

Tonight Mike and I headed off to Oxford to see Ultravox in concert. Was looking forward to this, saw them last year but that had a couple of problems associated with it, (not regarding Ultravox or the gig itself more the shall we call it the company of limpets) so this time no problems and a much more enjoyable evening. Well apart from Mike spitting his dummy out when parking the car, which he got over once he'd had something to eat courtesy of Mr B King!!


Personally I love Oxford New Theatre, one of those really old fashioned stylish theatres, although the seats are a bit cosy!! - well they are with my bum!! We timed it just perfectly got our cold drinks, went to the loo, sat down, had a look around and then lights down.

A small selection of my photos from the evening, all the band were looking incredibly well and clearly having fun. The sound quality at the start was a little off, but that seemed to improve as the evening wore on. Billy Currie still does the silly dancing, Chris still looks like your Dad dancing at a wedding, Warren stills looks incredibly cool and Midge, well Midge is as ever, great voice, and still pulling the strangest of faces during those guitar solos easily ranks alongside David Gilmour on that one!! Still and always one of my favourites - and has been now for well about 34 years, I still have my copy of Slik's Forever and Ever and from his 'punk' days a Rich Kids record too!!

An enjoyable evening all round and the set list was as best as I can remember it
