ONE of the world's most famous electro-pop groups - The Human League - will be playing in Suffolk later this year.

Fronted by lead vocalist Philip Oakey and backing singers Joanne Catherall and Susan Sulley, the distinctive band released a string of hits like 'Mirror Man', 'Louise', 'The Lebanon', 'Human', 'Love Action (I Believe In Love)', and '(Keep Feeling) Fascination'.

The Forestry Commission is committed to taking woodlands to new audiences and making them relevant to people in new ways. Forestry Commission live music is self-sustaining, paying for itself, and providing valuable revenue to plough back into the woodland in a variety of environmental and social projects.

The Human League will be performing at High Lodge, Thetford Forest, Near Brandon, on July 9.

Peter Rawlinson, of the Forestry Commission, said: “I am delighted we have secured The Human League as part of this year's live music programme.

“They are the defining act of their genre and with their stack of hits this should provide a real 'friends reunited' night out.”

Tickets cost �29.50 (subject to booking fee) and go on sale at 9.00am this Friday from the Forestry Commission Box Office on 01842 814612, online at www.forestry.gov.uk/music or over the counter from the venue.
