Added 2023-12-18 21:32:32 +0000 UTCHello Everyone,
The second part of the latest Q & A. This one is also about 45 minutes. The third part will be posted on Friday and is around 35 minutes. The music clips I mentioned will be posted on Wednesday, that's I Die You Die from the 1,000th show and Crime Of Passion from the acoustic tour.
Bye,
Gary N.

Perhaps an idea for your back catalogue of music and live footage would be (for a small one off fee perhaps, or even a 'pay per play' or per 'download' basis) would be your own 'Spotify of Numan' /'Netflix of Numan'. ;-)

2023-12-31 17:58:08 +0000 UTCHaving heard the 'I Suppose' (demo of sorts) on YouTube it does sound legit and of the 'Dance' period (the mumbled/gibberish adlibbed lyrics sound like a work in progress, in keeping with some of the previously released 'B-sides' and the instrumentation is legit too with the genesis of the 'Dance' (title track) and a bit of a nod towards 'Stormtrooper In Drag' within it I think (I wonder if Beggars Banquet found it on the old tapes, or as you've said a copy got nicked by someone working in the studio).

2023-12-23 12:32:34 +0000 UTCSad to hear you probably wonβt be doing a US acoustic tour, though I get the reasoning. Since most of my family in the UK has died over time so it would have been hard for me to make a trip there. Watched the YouTube videos though, looked great. Your voice has always been amazingly distinctive and it comes across so well and so clear in the acoustic sets where itβs not buried under synths etc, you sounded great. Really hoping some of the questions Iβd sent in get answered in the remaining QandA, would love to hear you read them out and answer. All the bestβ¦. x

2023-12-20 16:13:23 +0000 UTCanother fascinating in-site into your world of thoughts and ideals , I can understand that you would be so pleased and felt the feeling of great accomplishment with the acoustic tour , and feel that it was extra special due to its stripped quality ,I was lucky enough to be at the Newcastle meet and greet and the Acoustic gig, which indeed it was an incredible concert , raw and pure , and you and the lads did yourselves and us proud , it was a extraordinary performance which I will remember , and being right at the front was just amazing thank you x

2023-12-19 13:06:21 +0000 UTCIt's a Vimeo update that Patreon hasn't caught up with yet on the app. Just log in on browser instead. ππ»

2023-12-19 09:55:18 +0000 UTCWhen I click the video, it says "video does not exist". The previous video worked just fine for me, but not this one.

2023-12-19 03:24:28 +0000 UTCAnd it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!

2023-12-18 23:23:26 +0000 UTCLoved this update, Gary. Speaking about meeting people, I once bumped into you in the street in Bristol during the Sacrifice tour. You jumped out of a van in front of me and I blurted out something like, "God, you look like shit!" You were charming and agreed, saying you had laryngitis and had been in bed all day. I later attended the sound check and the show and you were an absolute pro - I would never have known you were unwell. It's stuck in my mind all these years because I'm embarrassed by the way I behaved and hugely impressed with how you handled it - thank you. That was a very long way of saying I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to be rude and it's massively to your credit that you didn't tell me to eff off! Still a fan since '79 and dying to hear your next new music :-)

2023-12-18 22:49:52 +0000 UTCI am also a neurodiverse (neuro-spicy!) fan, and am grateful for your openness on the subject. The more of us that share in such a natural and matter of fact way, the more it improves the ability of "norms" to accept and understand our different ways of seeing and interacting with the world. So much love and appreciation for you, Gemma, Raven, Persia, and Echo x

2023-12-18 22:35:58 +0000 UTCThanks for these first two Q&As Gary, good to hear so much about the brilliant acoustic gigs. Glad your knee hasn't sabotaged you!
Paula Robinson
2023-12-18 22:19:20 +0000 UTCI think Vimeo and the Patreon app have fallen out again, as I get the same thing. Log in on the Patreon website in your browser instead and you should be fine. π
Paula Robinson
2023-12-18 22:17:30 +0000 UTCSending good wishes your way, Nat! I get "a strange error occurred" when clucking on the video link. π€ I'm logged in to Vimeo, will keep trying.
Ariel Melton
2023-12-18 21:39:21 +0000 UTCThanks for the new update Gary. Iβm sat here with pneumonia, on my 40th birthday. I have got an appointment for midnight, but this has certainly cheered me up, while Iβm waiting! Cheers!
