In pictures: The Human League
Synth-pop legends The Human League played at High Lodge in Thetford Forest on Thursday, 9 July, 2009. Photographs by David Keller.
Fronted by lead singer, songwriter and musician Philip Oakey, the group hailing from Sheffield have been wowing audiences since the late 1970s.
Since 1978, The Human League have released nine studio albums and 26 singles, including eight UK top 10 entries and two cross-atlantic number ones.
Susan Ann Sulley has sung with The Human League since 1980 and she danced her way through the night at Thetford Forest.
The other female singer of the group is Joanne Catherall, who like Susan joined the group on vocals for their momentous 1981 album Dare, which contains the song Don't You Want Me.
The crowd watched in amazement as The Human League unearthed a barrage of lights and synthesized sound across the forest.
Songs included in the evening's set-list included The Lebanon, Fascination, their 1994 hit Tell Me When and their UK and US number one single Don't You Want Me.
Nick Burke has been part of The Human League's backbone since 2001, where he spent the evening jumping around the stage with his Keytar.
The Human League were one of the first independent label bands in Sheffield and the UK to make use of early synthesizer technology - and they haven't looked back since!
As the evening drew to a close at Thetford Forest, the crowd left happy despite the damp weather conditions. The High Lodge sees David Gray and Sugababes perform at the venue on Friday, 10 and Saturday, 11 July, 2009.
