Now its Doctor Midge Ure
Permalink  
 


Midge Ure has been awarded an honourary Doctor of Music degree from Edinburgh University, in recognition to his contribution to music and his work with Live 8, Band Aid etc. The ceremony takes place on the 21 June in Edinburgh.  Many congratulations to him, but what he really wants and deserves is to be a Sir, just like his old pal. Did you know that Midge is really Jim? (his real name, pronounced backwards)

It would be good to see him knighted, he does deserve it afterall.

I didn't know that his name is Jim backwards!! But then my book hasn't arrived yet...

I did not realise before, but this is his second degree award. He had one from Dundee University last year. I remember seeing Bob in university robes, but can't remembe which one.  Jules will know, I'm sure.

I can't remember for sure, but I think it was probably Trinity College, Dublin for Bob? Would make sense...

I didn't realise he had that many. He deserves more though, of course.

Just had notification my Dr Midge book is on its way to me now.

 He has much more, because he got those in 2004 and 2005 and he probably got some degree after Live Aid.

Gosh, he should be Vice Principal or at least professor by now!  He could set up a music scholarship at one of them for kids from an impoverished background, or maybe he already has?
