UNSUNG HEROES

Many of our nation’s heroes go unsung and are forgotten about. The NHA would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to some of these delightful people. We therefore hereby present you with the NHA’s Unsung Hero award.

Unlike the NHA’s Politician of the Week award, the Unsung Hero award is not awarded regularly, and is also not awarded to just anybody. In order to be eligible to be crowned an Unsung Hero, you must be a British citizen whose achievements in any field have not been recognised by society or have been overshadowed by the success of another individual.

UNSUNG HERO: MIDGE URE

Midge Ure

Frontman of '80s popular rockers Ultravox, Midge is perhaps recognised more recently as part of the duo responsible for the Band Aid single Do They Know Its Christmas? and the 1985 Live Aid concert. As he prepares for a second Live 8 concert next month, fronted by the famous Banjo playing Gordon Brown, we ask whether he will again be overshadowed by Bob Geldof's shoddy and unkempt hair? Not likely anymore, as Ure is now officially recognised by the NHA as an Unsung Hero! Congratulations Midge!
