The Band
1996 - D-Zire/Desire
Edele, Keavy & Sinead have come together to create Desire in the hope of becoming the next TLC.
Edele is quoted "We sing and dance and we can write our own material. Shane (Lynch) has proved that anyone can make a success of their lives and that dreams can become a reality if you believe in yourself - which we do. We know it's not going to be easy, but we're not afraid of hard work." (Smash Hits Magazine)
Feeling a piece of the puzzle was missing, Lindsay would join Edele, Keavy and Sinead and become Sister...
