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.

DeMontfort Hall Leicester 6th October 1983
Here's one from 35 years ago to the day from Leicester's DeMontfort Hall as the 'Warrior' tour rolled into town. This was the first tour that I saw him on (in Brighton) having narrowly missed out on Wembley. As UK tours go this was a pretty big one.

Ultravox Crystal Palace 13th June 1981
Billy Currie
Crystal Palace 13th June 1981
Not Numan I know, but a band with a lot of cross-over appeal and the odd borrowed keyboard player. Here's a set from a 1981 outdoor festival in South London. A great little Vienna/Rage In Eden era set.

Martin Mills on BBC Radio 4's 'Zeitgeist'
Sorting through the hard drive I came across this short recording from BBC Radio 4's 'Zeitgeisters' series which focused on individuals that had had a profound influence on popular culture. The subject of this particular episode was Martin Mills as who you all know started (along with Nick Austin) a small independent record label by the name of Beggars Banquet. I just love it for the fact that it meant that The Lurkers got played on Radio 4. May be of interest to some of you:
