Question

my local radio station asked this Q. their answer was midge ure.
i think that a fella named rusty egan had musical and/ or production links with both .am i right or wrong?

Answer 1

migure was in both

Answer 2

Midge Ure is the answer. He was the lead singer of Ultravox and formed Visage with Steve Strange and Rusty Egan in 1979. I don't think either Strange or Egan had anything to do with Ultravox.

Answer 3

The link is 2 of the Ultravox members. The singer Midge Ure and the synths player Billy Currie. they played in Steve Strange's project Visage.
Rusty Egan produced on both bands albums. He had no direct musical input.

Answer 4

Visage was a New Romantic ensemble that began life in 1978, mainly to provide some danceable music to be played on Steve Strange's and Rusty Egan's Billy's London nightclub.
Initially, the ensemble was comprised of Steve Strange, Rusty Egan and Midge Ure. Ure and Egan began working with Strange after the demise of their power pop band "Rich Kids". The trio recorded a demo which included a cover of the Zager and Evans hit "In the Year 2525". Ultravox's multi-instrumentalist Billy Currie, and the core of post-punk band Magazine — bassist Barry Adamson, guitarist John McGeoch, and keyboardist Dave Formula joined the studio-only ensemble later. Visage signed to Radar Records and released their first single, "Tar" in September 1979. The following year saw the release of their self-titled debut album, which sold extremely well and raised the ensemble's popularity mainly because of the single "Fade to Grey." The single quickly became a huge club hit, went to number one in 21 countries and marked an imminent commercial breakthrough for electronic music and the whole New Romantic movement, for which the first Visage album became a kind of soundtrack.

Ultravox (formerly Ultravox!) was one of the primary exponents of the British electronic pop music movement of the early 1980s. The band was particularly associated with the New Romantic movement, although it both pre- and post-dated New Romantic by several years, drawing inspiration variously from punk, the artier side of glam rock, pub rock and latterly straightforward synthpop.
Midge Ure, an already accomplished musician, asked to join the band. He had achieved minor success with semi-glam outfit Slik and Glen Matlock's more punk-inspired The Rich Kids, although in 1979 he was temporarily playing with hard rock band Thin Lizzy. Midge Ure and Billy Currie had met in the Visage project, a band fronted by Steve Strange.

Answer 5

I thought it was Steve Strange but it could be that Midge Ure either wrote for Visage or produced them.this is my first serious answer.

Answer 6

I am pretty sure that Rusty Egan was the link
