Interesting band name

Our group have now established a band name 'The Coralliens', we formed the name by thinking of a colour that best suited us as a band, we chose Coral as it is quite feminine and classy. We then translated the word coral to french which came to be a catchy and edgy band name.

Cher's Xfactor performance inspired me to find the reasons for Shakespeare's sister's band name and thought it was quite intriguing.

'Shakespeare's sister' was a two membered pop - glam band formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, the second memeber was Marcella Detroit (who later left in 1993).



This is the song Cher performed and is one of their best songs - 'Stay'Their band name was based on a fictional character invented by the English author Virginia Woolf, "Judith". Judith was a fictional sister of Shakespeare in the feminist essay called "A Room Of One's Own." In the 1980s the punk band the Smiths (Siobhan Fahey's favorite band) wrote a song titled "Shakespeare's Sister", which is where Siobhan took it from.
