Hi, My name is Gary. I was born in London on March 8th 1968...yes, the same day as Gary Numan only 10 years later!! I've been into Tubeway Army and Gary Numan since 1979 and still try to be as enthusiastic now as I was then BUT saying that, I love the old days when the UK was full of Numanoids (as we were called back then). The fashion (or lack of it), the fact that both boys and girls tried their best to look like Gary, the whole atmosphere back then was just great and I think I'm lucky to have been growing up when the Numan Scene was at it's best. I've met him a number of times and have lots of stories to tell. In the early 90's I wrote a book type thing about Gary Numan from a fans point of view called 'Numan & Me'. I wrote it for myself really as memoires just so that I remember everything before I get too old and it's a no hold barred account of my life as a Numan fan. The ups and downs, the good times and the bad times. It has been on the web for other Numan fans to read and it has had some brilliant reviews. If you want to read it just message me and I will send it to you.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
