Midge Ure and Chalk Circle at the El Mocambo

FOTM Ed Sousa is turning 60, so he's throwing himself a party. Chalk Circle opened for Midge Ure tonight at the El Mocambo and I got to soak it all in.

I haven't seen Chalk Circle live since 1985, which sets a new personal record for time between seeing a band. Chris Tait, lead singer of Chalk Circle, visited the basement for a chat back in September.
