The following is a quote from
John about
Gary Numan's involvement in the forthcoming event at
The Roundhouse ...
*****
"It's typically generous of Gary to agree to take part in this event," says
John Foxx, following the announcement that
Gary Numan and
Ade Fenton will be performing a DJ set at the 30th anniversary
Roundhouse show in London on Saturday the 5th of June, 2010.
"I've always had immense respect for everything Gary achieved and the very independent way he went about it. I also think he's a true star - a genuine instinctive artist capable of connecting across several generations. You see, it takes time to tell if you can affect anything beyond your own generation. Most bands and most music will fade fairly quickly, but the more interesting stuff will take time to be seen. It's a far longer game than most realise. Gary's entire career has proved itself through that test of time. It's even more relevant now than when he began. A very rare thing."*****
