Today

Available for over a year

Midge Ure told the programme about the lead singer of Visage, Steve Strange's, door policy at the Blitz club. Ure said the Blitz was the "beating heart of the new electronic movement of the early eighties" and described the way Strange would turn away anyone he didn't like the look of, including once turning away Mick Jagger as he was "too rock and roll".
