In a few days I will finally be ready to launch my first Making Music campaign.

As you may know, with Savage, fans were able to witness the progress of the album from day 1 to the finished article via my Pledge Music campaign and the updates, either video, audio or text, that were a regular part of it. That witnessing, that inside look at what it takes to make an album like Savage, seemed to be a very successful and popular experience, for most people that took part anyway. So, I’m going to do something similar, even better hopefully, with the next album.

However, with the Savage/Pledge campaign there were a few grumbles towards the end from fans, and I listened very carefully to the problems you had. To fix those few problems, and to try to give you an even better experience with the next album, I’ve decided to move the campaign from Pledge over to Townsend’s Making Music site. I feel confident that in those few areas where people felt let down with Pledge, Townsend will be able to deliver more effectively. Townsend are well known to most of you having run my online store very successfully for many years. They also work very closely with BMG so, between the three of us, we should be able to deliver on my ‘even better experience’ claim.

To join the campaign, once it’s launched, you will need to go to this address:

When the campaign is online, and the address above is live, you will be able to buy an Access Pass that will give you access to every update as the album progresses. If you want to pre-order the album, in whatever format, or buy any of the many other items that are available, the money you paid for the Access Pass will be refunded automatically.

I’ve found a huge amount of rare and special items that I will be able to make available on the campaign, from signed white vinyl Jagged albums, white label test pressings of rare singles and albums from the early days (including Telekon), acetates cut on the mastering lathe itself, to stage clothes, musical equipment, personal items and beyond. We still have many more items to  add to the campaign as the year unfolds, so it won’t all be available on day 1.

I hope to be announcing the official launch date tomorrow.

Excited to announce the release of ‘The Fallen EP’ on November 9th. The EP consists of 3 new tracks:

1. It Will End Here
2. The Promise
3. If We Had Known

It will be available as a Special Edition Tricolour 12″ vinyl, digitally and on CD through my Official Store.

Order from the Official Store

Excited to announce that we’ll be playing a set at Riot Fest in Chicago which runs from September 14 – 16. Tickets are On Sale now and you can get them here: http://bit.ly/2stFNqN

As soon as we know exactly what date we’ll be playing we’ll announce it here and on the Numan socials, and  add it to the Tours page.

The Meet and Greet at the Irving Plaza on Sep 22nd has now Sold Out. With four months still to go to the show I’m blown away by that so thank you. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone at the shows we’re playing this year so, if you’d like to come along, we still have some places left at most of the other shows around the world and you can get the details here.

We now have Meet and Greet opportunities available for all ten shows on the Savage European Autumn Tour. If you’d like to meet Gary and experience our informal and intimate Meet and Greet package you can find details here.
