The Human League
Ok, so after reading this press you will know about the 'The Human League concerts for 2019'. You might be reminded of the hits they had and such & such. (But between me and you, can I say something?)
Because I was there at the time, and what The Human League were! Are!
Without doubt is an incredibly important part of British Musical History! - Evolution! - Influence! Take your pick, for me at the time they were on the edge of pop, exciting inspirational pioneers of a new pop, alongside bands including my beloved Soft Cell.
I quote: "Can I have the 12" Love Action please" ....(Selectadisc Nott'm) - Later, memories... ? Well I remember when I first heard 'Louise', I knew that I would always love this song, and I was right... (Am I thinking out loud again... ) pauliepaul

A Quote About....
."Don't You Want Me" became the band's biggest hit, selling almost 1.5 million copies in the UK.. Dare has since been labelled as one of pop music's most influential albums. In a retrospective review of the album, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, senior editor for AllMusic, gave Dare a five-star rating. He wrote: "The technology may have dated, synths and drum machines may have become more advanced, but few have manipulated technology in such an emotionally effective way." Philip Oakey often plays down claims of "Dare" being such an influential album, but at other times acknowledges its influence on modern music. In 2001, paraphrasing an NME headline from 1980, Oakey once famously quipped: "The Human League: one day all music will be made like this! And it is!"
