She became a major international star for Affection, from 1990, and she continued recording disco-influenced pop throughout the 1990s. Formerly a double act on BBC Radio 1, in March of 2004 they went their separate ways, Radcliffe to BBC Radio 2, Riley to BBC 6 Music. Lisa Stansfield (born April 11, 1966) is a British singer from Rochdale, England, the former frontwoman for the Blue Zone.

The band has toured extensively, playing many university gigs because of their popularity with students. When they rewrote the Seahorses' Love is the Law as (Now) I know (where I'm going) our kid they chose the stage-name "Shirehorses", which then stuck. As part of their radio show, they have produced pastiches of recent chart songs, such as Lardy Boy for Placebo's Nancy Boy, and Why Is It Always Dairylea for Travis's Why Does It Always Rain On Me, using the band names "Gazebo" and "Travisty" respectively.

The Shirehorses are a spoof band made up of two BBC Radio DJs from Manchester, Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley (known collectively as Mark and Lard).
