The Human League are due to play here at the end of the month, despite having released no new material since 2001 - but that could be about to change.

Phil Oakey and co. are writing new material for their tenth studio album, according to singer Joanne Catherall.

She told BBC6Music that a new album is imminent, but doesn't know how it will be released.

"We've always been supported by record companies and that's not really happening to as many groups any more so we'll have to find another way of getting it out to the public. We're all keen to put out new music, but our only problem is that the way we have traditionally put out music is not available to us any more."
