As one of the most accomplished female songwriters the UK has ever produced, Fahey has enjoyed enormous creative and commercial success. Her career in the music industry stretches back almost four decades with legendary groups Shakespears Sister and Bananarama, as well as writing for other artists. Fahey co-founded Bananarama with Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward in 1981. They enjoyed two top five hits in partnership with male trio Fun Boy Three in 1982, before having their first solo hit with 'Shy Boy' later that year. Despite international success and a string of international hit singles, including the US Number One Venus and four hugely successful studio albums Deep Sea Skiving , Bananarama , True Confessions and WOW! Fahey left the group in 1988 and founded Shakespears Sister. Initially as a solo project and later in partnership with Marcella Detroit. Shakespears Sister's debut album Sacred Heart was released in 1989, and included the hit single You're History'. Their 1992 hit Stay' topped the UK charts for eight weeks, the longest running Number One by an all-female group in British chart history.
After a musical hiatus, Fahey later returned as Shakespears Sister, again as a solo vehicle, for the the release of her critically acclaimed albums #3 and Songs From the Red Room in 2009 on her own SF Records, amongst others. Now fans can finally experience Shakespears Sisters fourth studio album in all its vinyl glory (GOLD Vinyl)
