THE HUMAN LEAGUE – DARE

THE CAT CLUB (Classic Album Thursdays) presents a long playing vinyl record.

DARE – THE HUMAN LEAGUE with special guest Ian Burden.

This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album.

The Human League’s critically acclaimed, genre-defining classic album, Dare from 1981 features some of the most influential synthesiser sounds ever recorded.


IAN BURDEN was the man with his fingers on the keyboards. Ian was with us in conversation talking about the band and a true eighties landmark record.

DAVID M. ALLEN was the engineer on Dare and he joined Ian on stage for the interview.

In the interviewer’s chair was Record Collector contributor and head honcho of Strange Brew podcasts, JASON BARNARD.

This event took place on Thursday 26th May 2022 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
