Siobhan Fahey

She was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1957, before moving to Germany where her father was posted as a soldier in the British Army. The family subsequently moved to England, living in various areas, while Siobhan was sent to a convent school in Edinburgh. When she was 14 she and her family moved to Hertfordshire, and two years later she left home for London.

There she took a course in fashion journalism where she met Sarah Dallin[?] and Keren Woodward[?], and with the help of Sex Pistol Paul Cook[?], the three formed Bananarama.

In 1988, Fahey left Bananarama, and formed Shakespear's Sister with Marcella Detroit[?]. The duo split in 1993, and Fahey admitted herself into a psychiatric unit with severe depression.

In 1996 she embarked on an acting career. She was also involved in a shortlived reformation of Bananarama.

Fahey married David A Stewart[?] of Eurythmics in 1987. The couple had two sons, Sam and Django, before splitting up in 1996.
