Tom Robinson sits in for Johnnie Walker, playing the best music of the 1970's.

This week's 'My 70s' guest is Midge Ure. Midge found fame as a songwriter, performer and producer during the decade with Slik, the Rich Kids and the beginnings of Visage. Midge also spent time as a touring guitarist with Thin Lizzy. He went on to more success in the early 80s with Ultravox and his solo career, plus his involvement with Band Aid and Live Aid, alongside Sir Bob Geldof. This year, Midge begins his 'Songs, Questions and Answers' tour in March which travels around the UK until May.

Elsewhere on the show, we take a look at 'This Week In Music' from the 1970's, courtesy of the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Archives. Plus another listener chooses a record to add to Johnnie's Jukebox.
