Born on Sep 10: Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama)

Siobhan Fahey (born Siobhan Máire Deirdre Fahey, 10 September 1958, Dunshaughlin, County Meath, Ireland) is a founding member of the 1980s British girl group Bananarama, and later formed the BRIT Award and Ivor Novello award winning musical outfit Shakespears Sister.  Fahey helped to co-write many of the group's international hits, including "Cruel Summer", "Robert DeNiro's Waiting", "I Heard a Rumour", and "Love in the First Degree".

"Cruel Summer" was a top ten hit in Britain in 1983. Singer Sara Dallin said the song "played on the darker side (of summer songs): it looked at the oppressive heat, the misery of wanting to be with someone as the summer ticked by. We've all been there!"
