Synth-pop-rock band formed by former Bananarama singer/songwriter Siobhan Fahey in 1988. There have been minor variations in the spelling of the band's name over the years, which lost the final "e" from "Shakespeare" (and the apostrophe) when a friend made a woodcut logo for Fahey with the name carved as "Shakespear".
