Opening for her father Raven Numan and her band played nine tracks including a cover of Nine Inch Nails “In this Twilight”. Very goth sounding overall. Ade Fenton on keyboards who was part of Gary. Numans touring band from the past. My Reflection and Killing Me Slowly were the tracks that stood out for me.
Gary Numan is and stalwart on the music scene and this gig was one of the best I have seen him perform. He worked through the Telekon album with the added bonus of a demo track that was too ‘happy’ to be included on the album. “Like a B Film”.
A very emotional gig, the crowd and band carried Gary through it .The best tracks were The Robert Palmer covered song I Dream Of Wires and The two singles off the album: I Die You Die and We Are Glass. The encore was four Tubeway Army tracks: My Shadow in Vain, Are Friends Electric, Listen to to the Sirens and a personal favourite of mine Down in the Park. 10/10 this gig was up there as one of my gigs of the year.
