 THE RICH KIDS get a new guitarist and vocalist. Midge Ure has joined Glen Matlock's Rich Kids. He was a chart topper with his teen-pop band Slik, but has since turned to other tastes. He had played a few dates with the Rich Kids but rejected the idea of joining the band because of a reluctance to relocate to London. That reluctance is gone now with record compony interest and an imminent signing which occured today. The Rich Kids have just been signed to a recording deal with EMI Records. This is the same company that had lead singer Glen Matlock under contract last year as a member of the Sex Pistols. The group have already cut some demos and now prepare for their first single. The line-up is now made up of Glen Matlock on vocals and bass, ex-Slik vocalist and guitarist Midge Ure, Steve new on guitar and Rusty Egan on drums.  have their first John Peel radio session broadcast tonight. Tracks include 'Freak Show', 'Total War', 'I'm On Heat', 'Then I Kissed Her' and 'Be My Prisoner'.
