...I just got back from the Stansted Proms- a local outdoor concert at a stately home. The reason we decided to go to this was that it was an 80's revival tour, and the bands on the line-up were ones I would have loved to see 'back in the day'. Best by far, in my view, was Midge Ure from Ultravox, although the other bands were great, too.

Ooh, I'm so green! Back in the 80s when I was a student, I did a few Ultravox concerts. I was also a fan of Japan and met Midge and Mick Karn when they were collaborating.

I really wish I'd been there at Stansted with you.
