Where to start looking for someone ?

Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me out... I used to know these guys in a band who rented accomodation in Dublin. The last time I saw any of them would have been probably 8 - 10 years ago & I'm trying to track them down for a project I'm working on. I've tried googling them & phone book searches but they…

The last time I saw any of them would have been probably 8 - 10 years ago & I'm trying to track them down for a project I'm working on.

I've tried googling them & phone book searches but they seem to have fallen off the radar.

The voting register is no good to me as you need to have an address to search by...

Where else could I look ?

Try bigulo.com anyway, you'd be surprised how many non-computer & internet types I've known who have pages on Bebo and Myspace, etc...

And I'm sorry Roisin but you need the person's name to use it.:P

yeah tried the phone book, unfortunately nothing there for any of them, they're all from Dublin, although I do know one of them was planning on moving down the country at some point, where to I don't know.

OK, here's the deal. This band were very popular in Dublin (actually in Ireland) in the early 1990s - around 1992 - 1994 was their peak. They called themselves "The Cage" A five piece outfit with a great sound & look.

Some time in early 1994 they moved to L.A. & were doing really well over there until something happened (I know but am not revealing it here) which caused them to split up. Four of them moved back to Dublin & hung around for a while before I eventually lost contact with them. Now I need to find them as I'm working on a documentary on their time together.

FTW - what does that mean ???

Just got off the phone with Keith. Turns out the guys got back together recently & are rehearsing & were auditioning for a singer, after a lot auditions, they hadn't found anyone they liked so they were trying to track down me & their old singer (in case I had his details).

I got his details this morning from his brother and will be meeting with the guys during the week. Now... off to buy DV tape

Guy wants to track down group of people he last saw 8-10 years ago, no idea how to find them.

Total time taken: 37 minutes.

Is anyone else a bit freaked by this?

Honestly, nothing to do with publicity originally. I was genuinely trying to track them down. however I will admit to running with it now. Others had mentioned they want to check them out & I'd love to hear people's opinions on the music though.
