Human League tribute band to perform Sheffield group's classic Dare album in full at city centre bar
The look and soundalike band will be performing the city synth pioneers classic Dare album in full with a date in Sheffield later this year,
And when the trio step out on stage at the Mulberry Bar and Venue, Arundel Gate on October 25, they will be just a stone’s throw from where the Human League were formed in Sheffield city centre nearly 40 years ago.

None of the tribute trio are from Sheffield but lead singer Alan Wainwright, aka Phil Oakey, says performing Dare in the city where it was realised will be a dream come true.
He said: “We’re really looking forward to performing the entire Dare album from start to finish in The Human League’s home town.
“There was only vinyl or cassettes back in 1981, so you bought your album, stuck it on the record player and played it from start to finish. That’s how it was and that’s how we are going to perform it. The response has been great and we’re confident it will sell out.”
