Iconic 80s band The Human League are to play at Ayr
Racecourse after racing on Friday April 20, the opening afternoon
of the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival.
The band comprise Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann
Sulley and they will play a full concert in the Ayrshire Suite at
the track.
Human League are best known for the 2 million selling single
'Don't You Want Me' which reached Number 1 at Christmas 1981 and
contains the classic line 'You were working as a waitress in a
cocktail bar.' In total the band have worldwide record sales in
excess of 20 million.
Their most recent album Credo was released to critical acclaim
last March and in addition to appearing at Retro Fests and 80s
concerts the Human League continue to tour and the Ayr gig is sure
to attract a large crowd.
Ayr Racecourse Sales and Marketing Manager Lindsey Smith
commented : "We are looking forward to welcoming The Human League
to the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival.
"Their hits are instantly recognisable and they are still
touring all over the world which and are a very popular live act -
I'm sure this will be a night to remember."
