Gary Numan The Touring Principle

'When the machines rock.....they sound like this'.... Well the machines did rock and music can never be the same again

I will be issuing a special limited edition 3CD set featuring audio recordings of the interviews used in the book entitled ‘Conversation’. This will include extended chats with members of Numan’s live band from the period Chris Payne, RRussell Bell and the late Ced Sharpley who all later formed DRAMATIS. It is available for pre-order and will be available for one night only at a special party to be held at The Old Star in London’s Westminster on Saturday 21st September 2013. The evening will also feature a special treat in a short live set by ELECTRONIC CIRCUS, the combo led by Chris Payne who have just released a brilliant new single ‘Roundabout’.

The event will also act as a life celebration of Ced Sharpley who sadly passed away last March. So there will also be a charity raffle where up for grabs will be an exclusive one-off track on CD recorded for the night by Chris Payne, another one track CD by DRAMATIS, a one-off photo book full of colour photos from ‘The Touring Principle’ and ‘Teletour’ taken by one of the crew members plus lots of other Numan related goodies!

The Touring Principle

This site is dedicated to the most prolific and entertaining period of Gary Numan's career, 1979 to 1981. A time when he was number one all over the world, had 3 number one albums in the space of 18 months, toured the world twice over, culminating in a series of spectacular shows on a scale that had never been seen before at Wembley in 1981. Hopefully it will bring back memories for those who were there and fill in the blanks for those that might wonder what the fuss was all about.
