@GNDiscography @SoundsClips @numanofficial 👍 Thought so.

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial I noticed today that Numan official on YouTube posted up the warriors BBC broadcast from 83. I have it already from years ago but some may not.

Whilst enjoying a bottle of my favourite cider in the garden, I noticed the Best Before date was 8.3.28… my bloody 60th and @numanofficial 70th. Bought 4 bottles. Checked the others & they’re 20.3.28. I know. Should’ve saved it….D’oh! On to the second then. Might as well.

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial It keeps me doing something and in the ‘Happy Place’ so I’m ok with it 👍

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial Ok, thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated 👍

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial 😂 On another note, just posted elsewhere about possibly changing pod format to Request Fest as it always creates an eclectic mix and gets listeners involved. What do you think?

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial I have a few of their albums. I liked the orchestral thing they did too.

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial Sorry, I didn’t know that. TBH, I had a limited attention span when it came to VNV Nation. After a while it started to all sound the same to my ears, although there are some ‘bangers’ in their catalogue… Arena & Perpetual are 2 of my favourites 👍

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 @numanofficial I’ve got a few in my library dating back to 2010, but I think I started doing them in 2008. Thanks for listening 👍

@PaulSutton66 👍

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

If you listen to my Joy Circuit podcast - It’s Request Fest time again. PM me your 3 requests (1 must be Numan or related) before end of play Sunday and I’ll get it in the show👍
Cheers

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@PaulSutton66 Yes, got it thanks. I replied as there’s an issue with one of the tracks.

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@Awitter1Anton I think the last concert programme I bought was the Exhibition tour. I usually grabbed a programme and a t-shirt. Maybe some badges too. Although expensive now, I do understand that artists rely on it and gig tickets for income.

Out of storage for some photos!

[Gary Choppen @garycee]

@blitzed80smag1 Not sure about the date. Wiki says 4th May. Numan info sites say 19th May. I was 11 at the time and taped it off the radio as the record shops in Basingstoke were sold out. 16 weeks in the chart, 4 of those at No 1. The song changed my life. 58 now and still follow him.
