It will "Probably be just a few songs to start with and see how it goes on. It'll be cool".

Here In My Caravan Posted Sunday, January 11
Gary Numan has topped a poll of people you never thought would be caravanners, Metro Newspaper announced the top five...

Gary Numan, singer songwriter

Yes, one of the kings of gothic rock is a dedicated pioneer of caravanning. We're not sure but we suspect his van is black inside and out.

Katherine Jenkins, popera star

Who knew attractive, rich opera singers hung out in windswept, muddy fields in cold, oversized cars? A new reason to hit the roads.

Jarvis Cocker, former Pulp frontman

Caravanning is often regarded as a pastime of the elderly so maybe Help the Aged makes more sense after all.

Helen Mirren, The Queen actress

Classy and Caravanning aren't supposed to go together but Ms Mirren proves it does. The thinking man's caravan?

Patsy Palmer, ex-Eastender star

When Patsy's character Bianca Jackson married Ricky Butcher and 22 million people watched no one thought they would go on honeymoon in a caravan. And you can get the other holidaymakers would soon get sick of "Rickaaaaaaay!"

Ladytron & Numan Prepare for Magic Loungeabout Posted Thursday, August 28
Ladytron are looking forward to their slot next to Gary Numan at the Magic Loungeabout, a boutique festival that looks to be a great day out for electronic music fans this weekend.

Ladytron keyboardist Daniel Hunt said 'We're performing between Gary Numan and Nouvelle Vague, which sums up our sound quite well'.

Since the release of their new album, Velocifero, this summer, the band have been peddling a slightly darker sound.

'If someone only heard Ghosts, our first single from the album, they'd get a different view of us,' says Hunt. 'The album isn't that far removed from what we have been doing in the past, it's just an evolutionary step forward. The next single, Runaway (released next month), is more representative of Velocifero as a whole. People who have seen our show are taken aback by how much heavier the album is live' Hunt states. 'We're not content with sticking a backing tape on and trying to recreate the album. We wanted something that pushes the experience further.'

Gary Numan is expected to play the same crowd pleasing set he performed at the recent Wickerman Festial, a set packed with the Numan classic tracks - Cars, Are 'Friends' Electric ?, Metal, Films, M.E., Down in the Park and even Noise Noise.

Tickets are also still available for Gary Numan's solo concert at O2 Indigo2 on September 7th. Click Here for further details.

Garys legacy speaks for itself, and of course the boys are thrilled at his confirmation. Noel states; "Having Gary on board is mental! He is a hero of mine and was always a first choice, having him perform at our festival is almost surreal"..

"I was there the first time so it's got nothing new to offer. I've always refused to do anything connected to the '80s, any TV shows or retro tours, and I play very little old stuff at my gigs.

Gary Numan - I Don't Really Listen to Music Posted Friday, January 18
Gary Numan is featured in Todays Independent Newspaper, being interviewed about his cultural life..

Books

Reaper's Gale is the seventh volume of Steven Erikson's fantasy series, Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's hard work, because everything interconnects but nothing is explained. Sometimes you are four books in before something in the first book becomes clear. The other book I'm reading is Night of Knives: a Novel of the Malazan Empire by Ian C Esslemont. They both apparently created the fantasy world in Erikson's books and now Esslemont is writing offshoots of the main story.

Film

I can't watch supernatural films as it unsettles me, especially since I moved to an old house surrounded by woods, near Tunbridge Wells. I have a strong belief in ghosts and I don't want those fears encouraged. I saw a real ghost, as clear as day, at Piccadilly Circus Underground station when I was 17. I'm fascinated by haunted stuff, but not in my own house. I don't like films that are overly violent, either � I can't watch rape. As I've got older, the amount of films that I will see gets less and less because so many things upset me now. I like blockbusters. My wife doesn't like comedy, so our choice is a bit narrow. I went to see I am Legend, which was fantastic.

Music

I don't really listen to music. We have music on if we have a party: Depeche Mode or Nine Inch Nails � not particularly happy, dance sort of music. If I sit down in the evening to relax, music is the last thing I'd put on. I can't think when music is on. A lot of what I do involves thinking about the things that I then write songs about. I need quiet. Most of my songs were written in a car, but that doesn't happen now. My car is a cacophony of screams and kids being told off. My rate of work has slowed down since I've had children, although they bring good things to life, too!

Theatre/opera

I went to the stage version of The Lord of the Rings. I don't understand opera. I'm more likely to see smash hits like Stomp! � a combination of percussion, movement and comedy � than Shakespeare..

Gary Numan Synth-Nightmare Drones Posted Friday, October 12
Radiohead have shaken up the traditional music industry with their new album "In Rainbows", not only has it been released in Gary Numan's new format of choice, Download Only, but they are also giving the fans the chance to pay what they think it is worth.

The album itself has been praised by Rolling Stone from the "Gary Numan synth-nightmare drones of "All I Need" and "House of Cards" to the "fragile lovers-rock ballad closely resembling Dusty Springfield's (and the Byrds') 'Going Back.'

The Rolling Stone reviewer paid $5.27 for his copy, in honor of his mom's birthday.

What fans would have paid for "Jagged" if Numan had taken this route ?

Lose The Race and Your History Posted Wednesday, November 01
Eddie Irvine has been displaying fighting talk ahead of the Sky One reality show, The Race. "Girls are good at making breakfast and guys should be better at driving. If these guys lose to a bunch of girls that's it � their lives will be history and you won't be seeing me in Europe again!"

If the competition isn't enough to fray the nerves, the celebrities will be living together for the week in a purpose-built compound situated within the confines of Silverstone. They'll have all the comforts of custom-built luxury buses, but with the cameras following them here as well viewers will get to see how much heat they carry with them away from the circuit.

Gary the Goth Posted Sunday, October 29
Gary Numan features in an article about Goth in todays Sunday Times.

�Most people I know who are considered goths seem to deny it,� says Gary Numan, whose recent forays into dark, industrial rock have won him a new generation of fans. �They get really annoyed. Then there are the people who look goth but don�t like that music. Personally, I think it�s a pretty cool look, and I like a lot of the music.�

Numan is surprised he is now being labelled a goth himself. �I think it�s more to do with the lyrics on my last four albums, which have had a strong anti-God theme,� he says. �It seems ridiculous to me, but the music I�m doing now seems to appeal in that way.�.

Numan Confirms The Race Posted Wednesday, October 25
