Welcome to 'Listen To The Sirens' a blog based site that aims to share some quality live Gary Numan recordings and Numan related artists. For a number of years I have run a similar site that is focused on The Stranglers (Aural Sculptors). This Numan based site, like the Stranglers one, is absolutely non-profit making. All recordings are shared freely for and by like minded fans. Similarly, no official material will appear on this site. Go and buy it/download it legitimately and support the artist.

Melbourne Radio Interview May 1980

 


Here is a interview with Gary conducted at a local Melbourne based radio station ahead of his Touring Principle dates in the city at the Palais Theatre on the 19th and 20th May. In the interview Numan is typically self-effacing and happily laying out his career plans in music, video and air travel! 

I am assuming that this is a rebroadcast several years later on a more recent radio show as the commentary at the end is looking back (rather disparagingly it has to be said) at those dates in 1980. Only a short 10 minute interview but worth a listen if only for the gig promo ad which declared Numan to be the 'Bowie of the '80s'... oh how he must have squirmed!
