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.

Hammersmith Odeon Warriors Review (New Musical Express 29th October 1983)

A rare appearance of Numan in the pages of New Musical Express as the editors consented to include a live review of one of the Warriors dates in London. Perhaps unsurprisingly I am left wondering 'Why did they bother?' NME hated Numan in 1979 and there was no discerning shift in that position come 1983. Do not expect any insightful thoughts on the gig... you have been warned.

There is no way of telling which of the three nights the NME reviewer attended, but the Hammersmith gig of 13th October, part of which was broadcast by BBC Radio 1, as part of their 'In Concert' series can be located here.
