Midge Ure and Rusty Egan performed Visage songs on the 1980 Visage Vienna tour. Midge starts again with Tiny Magnetic Pets in the UK. Rusty Egan, Chris Payne, Zaine Griff and guests will perform the music of Visage. Steve Strange performed the music of Visage for many years. The music is 40 yrs old on November 2nd.
Andy McCluskey is pushed to pick his highlights from the 40 years of Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD): there have been so many. There’s the time he first held their debut single, Electricity, on Factory Records. There was the first of their staggering 29 Top Of The Pops appearances, when the Wirral electronic giants-to-be were initially so surprised to find themselves on the telly alongside Elton John and Bonnie Langford he mouthed “What are we doing here?!” at synth-playing OMD partner Paul Humphreys. Then there was signing his ever autograph at Liverpool Eric’s; being paid by the venue for the first time (with half a crate of beer), or standing on stage at the Rewind festival in 2018 with “35,000 people going wild”.
The W-fest performance of this mythic band on May 22nd will celebrate their 40th anniversary.
Founding member Rusty Egan and FADE TO GREY (& Gary Numan Keyboardist) Chris Payne have joined forces to celebrate this momentous occasion.
Midge Ure and Rusty Egan deliberated for months on who could take on guitar and lead vocals in a 4 man line up, not a lead singer band line up but a performance of the music of early Visage.
