Having sold millions of records, inspired two generations of artists, written some of the all-time great classic pop songs, had #1's across Europe and the US, The Human League still remain fiercely independent.

Playing to a sold out crowd at Llandudno's Venue Cymru these words by Susan Ann Sulley from the group, taken from the cover of their new album ANTHOLOGY sum up The Human League phenomenon:

'People think pop music is X Factor and we're still hankering after a Roxy-Bowie-Donna Summer-Chic version of pop. We don't fit in. There are three of us, two of whom have never written a song and are pretty average singers, plus we've got a lead singer who doesn't consider himself a singer at all and can't play any instruments very well. And yet we still think of ourselves as a pop group. If a market research group got hold of us, they'd change absolutely everything. We shouldn't have gone on as long as we have - we should have "gone rock" by now, like Depeche Mode, Simple Minds and U2 did. But we're still a pop group.'
