The band have been busy this year having toured South America and South Africa, but Susan is still looking forward to the upcoming tour in England!?

Susan and Joanne had an interesting strory in how they became members of the band, she said most people don't believe the story.

"Everyone thinks it was made up," said Susan.

"But it was the Crazy Daisy [club] here in Sheffield - It's not there anymore - I think it's a building society now.

"The original group had split-up, and for Phillip to keep the name 'Human League' he was contracted to do a tour of Europe, so they wanted some more memebers because they thought it would look a bit odd - 2 guys on stage.

"So Phillip went to the local nightclub that played their sort of music - originally he was looking for one girl, but he saw me and Joanne together, and he thought we looked quite good together.

"He thought we were obviously friends and could look after each other - we were still at school doing our A-levels… but eventually they [parents] relented and said we could go."

So they must have been displaying some serious dancefloor moves?

Susan was picked from the dancefloor and asked to tour with the band.

"We never could dance [laughs], we wave our arms in the air and shake our bottoms and hope for the best basically and we've done that for 24 years now.

"At the time it was right at the height of what people now call New Romantic's and it was also at the latter end of punk rock.

"What Phillip said was that in a nightclub full of very, very outrageous people, what Joanne and I looked like was quite classical - he said we looked as though we would fit in anywhere and we wouldn't date.

"He said that was the first thing that he saw about us - that we didn't have we didn't have wild red moheican haircuts or we weren't in wedding dresses - we'd got hats on and baggy trousers, but he said it was quite stylish - I'm sure he's regretting that ever since!

"Our parents were very against us going - but my dad did realise that if something had have happened, as it did, he would have regretted stopping me... and school thought it would be educational! They thought we would visit museums and things [laughs].

"Phillip never actually asked us to join the group - he just said 'would we go on the tour?' - but what happened was we all got along so well, we started all going out together to nightclubs and things when we got back from the tour.

"When Phillip and Adrian stated to make the album 'Dare' Phillip rang up one day and asked us if we could have a day off school and would you like to come and sing on this track - we said yeah, ok, and went down and things just progressed really.
