The webmaster, north Bucks:

"I remember we were kept outside the Civic Centre longer than usual before being allowed in going on for 19.45. Turned out later that there were strong rumours that the gig was nearly pulled (hence the delay) after a king sized strop from the star turn. You wouldn’t have known there had been issues once the gig started. OMD, the support act, were simply amazing (I went on to possess all of their recordings). Two blokes and a tape recorder in front of a black curtain. As for Numan, well the stage show was immense and I remember people dropping like flies because of the heat generated by Numan’s rig and bouncers sailing past me at great speed taking another person out. An interesting show to say the least showcasing the Pleasure Principle album and the best of Replicas with a few odds and ends thrown in. He never played Aylesbury again"

   

Andy McCluskey (OMD), writing for the Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:

Fond memories of both the Numan tour and our own in 1980. Loved the venue... all the best with the site
