Radio Heart (band)
Radio Heart was a music project by Scottish brothers Hugh and David Nicholson, formerly of Blue, who are best known for their collaboration with Gary Numan in 1987. History Radio Heart was formed as a music project by brothers Hugh and David Nicholson as a vehicle for a number of songs Hugh Nicholson had written. Gary Numan became involved with Radio Heart through the Nicholson's brother, Matt Nicholson, who at the time formed part of the management team for Numan's label Numa Records, alongside Numan and his father Tony Webb. In 1986, as Numa Records was in the process of being wound up, Matt Nicholson suggested Numan provide vocals on the song "Radio Heart". Once the Nicholson brothers had recorded most of the backing track, Ade Orange provided keyboards and Numan then contributed vocals. The song was released as a single in March 1987 under the name 'Radio Heart featuring Gary Numan' and reached No. 35 in the UK Singles Chart in April. Two further songs were recorded with Numan ...

Gary Numan
Gary Anthony James Webb (born 8 March 1958), known professionally as Gary Numan, is an English musician. He entered the music industry as frontman of the new wave band Tubeway Army. After releasing two albums with the band, he released his debut solo album '' The Pleasure Principle'' in 1979, topping the UK Albums Chart. While his commercial popularity peaked in the late 1970s and early 1980s with hits including "Are 'Friends' Electric?" and "Cars" (both of which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart), Numan maintains a cult following. He has sold over 10 million records. Numan faced intense hostility from critics and fellow musicians in his early career, but has since come to be regarded as a pioneer of electronic music. He developed a signature sound consisting of heavy synthesiser hooks fed through guitar effects pedals, and is also known for his distinctive voice and androgynous "android" persona. In 2017, he received an Ivor Novello Award, the Inspiration Award, f ...
