Gary Numan is about to set out on a UK acoustic tour, some of it in churches and one date in a cathedral. He talks here - from the Scottish estate house he’s just bought – about some of the first shows he saw and what he’s learnt about live performance. This includes ...
… the peculiar effect of seeing Nazareth at the Rainbow in 1973.
… the fate of the £5 note he’d asked Queen to autograph.
… why he doesn’t talk onstage, and why that’s about to change.
… what musicians take for granted.
… the church that insisted on his lyrics before they let him perform there.
… what happened when he dodged the security for Bowie at Wembley Arena.
.. what’s involved in creating a “relentless” live act.
… a fondness for the Monkees and Marc Bolan and the secret of his 1981 Bogart hat.
Gary Numan’s tour dates here ..
