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.

Dramatis 'In Concert' BBC Radio 1 1982


Now there is not much of this band to go around. In the studio, Dramatis only produced one album and a handful of singles before they found themselves once again with Gary Numan on tour. Aside from this 'In Concert' recording, the only other non-studio Dramatis moment I can recall was an appearance on a David Essex Showcase on TV.

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.

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.
