You can tell they are all very happy, and grateful to still be doing Human League. Great artists.
Philip's Eyes are what had me. They're not so dark anymore. But in general how beautiful have these people aged?! Winners for all times to come.
Susan still has it imo
I love the fact that they are so humble - they choose their words very carefully without blowing their own Bugles - very impressive - I remain a huge Fan
Homer Simpson My thoughts exactly.
well i love their music but humble they are not and they never were
I have been lucky enough to have met the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Queens Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️ and king Philip Oakey 2. I have a lot to thank Joanne Catherall ♥️ my favourite Human League member and my hero 4. 4 ever making a dream of mine 2 come true for me 2 meet up with the Human League. And m8 I've got a lot to thank Joanne Catherall ♥️ 4. And she is partly responsible 4 the best night of my life so far. And m8 I've told Susan Sulley ♥️ 2 her face and in front of Joanne Catherall ♥️. That I love the Human League's single ie 1 man in my ♥️. And I think that Susan Sulley ♥️ was chuffed to bits. I will always love the Human League. And Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy
Unlike too many celebrities Human League conducts themselves with class.
These guys have survived a long time and they seem genuinely grateful that they can continue making records and performing. They've produced some very memorable tunes too. Keep doing it.
omg what a sweet, humble, real group of musicians. they dont seem like musicians at all, no attitude no been there done that attitude. very humble greatful people who just love music. and Phil sounds GREAT live even today. I couldnt believe how good he sounds.
Thank you Human League, for making "records" and touring. I still love your CDs!
I like how they treat each question seriously and answer them honestly. Their hits were so good and ahead of their time its no surprise they're still going.
Charming. These fellahs are so genuine. Love the accents and the passion for music. Great music.
I had a big crush on Susan Sulley back in the 80’s and still do!
Shiiet who wasn't lol
Myself as well.
Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ my hero 4 ever making a dream come true 4 me 2 get a chance 2 meet up with them. Don't know it yet. But Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ is largely responsible 4 the best night ever of my life. Even though the fr3 unexpected journey from Brighton railway station 2 Portsmouth on the night in question wasn't planned. I've got a lot 2 thank them 4. The Human League R fantastic. Much better than anything that Simon Carol can ever come out with.
she was sexy
phil oakey seems like such a nice guy. someone you could sit down with and have a cup of coffee and just talk for hours.
Kristen Mai Pham we met him at the hotel the band was staying in Manchester about 3 years ago. More than happy to pose with us and so lovely.
Or have fish and chips
Eles cantam.muito adoro 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Or have a lovely Lamb lunch followed by a visit to Legoland.
Cup of tea you mean
They’ve always had incredible work ethics 💪🙏👏
Brilliant!
They just sound so down to earth. I've been a huge fan from the very beginning and still regularly listen to their albums on vinyl... I can't believe I'm 60 now 😅
One of my all time favorite groups. I miss the music of the 80's so much. Was great being a teen in the 80's when music had meaning.
They come across as genuine and down to earth, not fake.
Rita, Sue & Bob too
Great interview. I love H L. I took to them in 81 when I bought Dare. Brilliant band. Great music, nice people. I keep feeling fascination, after all, there Only Human. I met them once when I was working as a waiter in a cocktail bar. It took seconds to like them. I danced with Susan Sully and then I said don't you want me baby and she said, These are the things that dreams are made of. 👍♥️😂
We love you guys here in Lebanon
One of my all time favorite artists!! 🤘🎹🔥
They look fantastic! Must be all those good vibes. Will always love them. ❤
I like these guys. :-) Good music and a great personality.
I love them..they have a great personality..Susan Ann and Joanne still looks stunning...
Quite true about that comment about The 2 Human League sweet ♥️ s IE Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ Queen Susan Sulley ❤️ & King Philip Oakey 2. They are much better than the total crappy music that Simon Carol comes out with. I'll always be a big Human League fan
It’s a fact: Everyone knows The Human League.
Every continent knows them!!!! 💕💕💕
Nice people!! Just listened to "Human" and sooooo beautiful and melodic still!!!!!
Eu tinha uns 13 ou 14 anos e costumava escutar as músicas do Human League nos anos 90 no Brasil..até hoje eu não esqueço Vocês continuam no Brasil ainda hoje em dia. Parabéns pelo sucesso. Amo vocês!
I'm happy to see their enthusiasm about their succsessfull career.
Un pretentious and completely humble and grateful for the life experiences they've had with this wonderful band. I always thought the girls were employed just as back up singers. But today they are Central to the band.
Loves their accents so nice.
Their Song Human hit home with myself the first time I heard it back 1986, and it still hits home with me now a classic.
You guys are so famous in Asians country. I remember when I was teen. You song sound very modern I never get tired of it.
I am truly enthralled by this interview, it says as much about the interviewer as it does about these lovely people! New fan. Shared.
Thanks for watching Pete, glad you enjoyed it!
Human League Forever!!!
My fave group back when I was lost... The group has aged well! Their mind's are sharp as ever. Cool interview! Loved it...

Absolutely...keep the humanity...brilliant!!
Human league earned their status quite rightly back in the day and are one of the few “nostalgia” acts id love to see .
Coming from Bradford I always thought Yorkshire make the best electro-pop :-)
Suzanne has got quite a broad Barnsley accent on here.
Human League are still the No1 inspirational synth band.
they were (and still are) very popular in South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, etc) in the 80s. Love them!!!
It sounds like an interview for Creature Comforts! You honestly wouldn't think that they can make such amazing music!
These guys put on a great show...can't wait to see them again!!
I had & still have the biggest crush on Philip Oakey!! I think as he got older, he just became more handsome. Beautiful man😻😻😻
I have seen them live in Newcastle twice now absolutely fantastic band
I love this group.
So do I m8 2me the Human League r ACE Ace Ace Ace and I have adored all 14 Human League gigs that I've got to c. Epy ather I got to give loads of hand written love letters to Joanne Catherall and all starting to Queen Joanne Catherall sweetheart ather chess. Both Joanne Catherall and Susan Sulley and me apart from being human ofcorse. Have got something in common. Ie our talent is all self taught. 4me I'm a self taught sound affect impressionist. 4 I do inpressions of a drum kit to my music on my ipod around Portsmouth. Where I live. And I also do sound affect impressions of trains and even a level crossing. I will love it if Joanne Catherall asked if I liked to do my drum kit inpression on stage at a Human League gig. From Paul Eyles from Portsmouth
Meu Deus!...como o tempo passa.
Always room for the human league,
I saw these guys in Leicester Dec 18, they still have it big time.I recommend anyone who considers themselves a fan to go and see them.
What a great interview, I love them so much~
Susan Sully is even better looking now than in 1982.
The Human League fueron avanzados para su epoca en los 80¨s , fueron precursores para la posterior musica tecno que inmortalizo Depeche Mode, y de ahi derivaron los ritmos como el Trance en los 90´s y posteriormente la musica electronica, en fin son los abuelos de una corriente musical que aun se escucha entre los amantes de la musica ochentera, !! muy buena banda !!
Back in the 80's they had some great hits. I love they way they sound they must be from the U.K.
Always fancied Susan, especially in the Facination video ❤️
If you have never heard of this amazing group you were born under a rock and never came out from under it! Long Live The Human League !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing them in Sheffield on the 3rd December - can't wait
Have fun!
Pollyanna Moore me too it was soooooo good wasn't it!!!!!😆😆😆😆😆

great band and seem like really good people.
The fact that they're excellent playing live is a great strength for them.
Love the genuine accents. Brilliant music OF COURSE 🤩
I love the Yorkshire accents of the women, but they just sound so down-to-earth and honest.
Phil is still sounding good despite his lack of hair now.
Quite simply the greatest band to ever walk the earth.

I missed the last train home. But I managed 2 get a free unexpected journey home from Brighton Railway station 2 Portsmouth on the night in question. & All because I had done a true Pikey from Dad's Army IE I had. 4got 2 have my meds with me on the night in question. It cost Southern Railway company £100. In taxi fares on the night in question. & That is a great true story. My only wishes. Was that The 2 Human League sweet ♥️ s IE Queen Joanne Catherall ❤️ Queen Susan Sulley ❤️ & King Philip Oakey 2. Were in the Portsmouth bound taxi with me on the night in question. That would have made me extra happy.

Phil. My house, midnight! 🌙
Yeah we all love HL since early 80's in south américa.
its great to c the human league do it on there own terms and not being pushed by some record company, and its so true that selling cds in this day and age isnt going to pay the bills so thats why alot of 80s bands play live.
Brazil huge fan base!!!
Well I am in Chile South America and they rock in radios from the 80's several tracks like Human, Heart like a Wheel, electric dreams, fascination, lebanon, dont you want me, tell me when, one man in my heart, all I ever wanted, played and plays a Lot still in radios, and from the 90's Octopus is my fave album, with Romantic CD, They were my first concert in 2004 when I was 22yo, and they came back in 2011, I got all their CDs nowadays, hope they come back again and again and again Credo also my fave! So do they know them in southamerica? What a question! They love the human league in southamerica!
OylerMBox Hiya m8 I think that the Human League r ACE 2me and l've seen u3 gems play live 16times now. And I think that Joanne Catherall has got some magic powers inside her 2wards me.

Wow we actualy have something we export rather than import ! Love their new songs !
I don't think getting older is really a concern for them. They've always been the "Human" league, you know. Since the very beginning this band has always had substance, as well as style, and I'm very glad to see that they are still active. I've always enjoyed their live performances and I'm not even a big fan of "pop."
