Blue Zone UK

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue Zone UK was a UK based band (simply called Blue Zone in the UK and Europe, but adding the "UK" due to a naming dispute in the United States).

The group consisted of:

• Lisa Stansfield: vocals (lead and backing).
• Ian Devaney: Trombone, keyboards, guitar, backing vocals.
• Andy Morris: Trumpet, flugelhorn, keyboards and backing vocals.

After the "Big Thing" album (1988) and the singles "On Fire", "Thinking About His Baby" and "Jackie" (released in 1987), the trio and label Arista decided to focus on Lisa's solo career. Morris would cowrite and coproduce the first three Stansfield albums before departing the trio. Devaney and Stansfield would eventually marry and now own a music publishing business and continue to write and record together.
