    F.A.B, Irish girl band who were a Z-rate B*Witched, if IIRC.
    Buffalo G, a similar "salt of the earth" act. One of them was the sister of Shane off Boyzone and his two sisters who were in B*Witched, IIRC.
    Kerri-Ann - No. 1 hit and rumours of a "relationship" with Stephen Gately (PR cobblers, at most) and then nothing...

    OTT! :o

    Pat O'Mahony, that knob from RTÉ's fashion show in the 1990s. Now a middle-aged property renter.

    What did happen to The Thrills?

    Didn't they have a song about what ever happened to someone else?

    Weird.

    That young seanachai lad from Kerry who was in a couple of ads for I think maybe Dennys rashers or something similar circa early 90s.He used to end the ads with the line "And thats pure true".Seem to remember he was being touted as the next Eddie Lenihan but never heard anything more about him.

    Bibi Baskin has made some sort of a return. She's doing the voiceover for the programme (and also called) The Shelbourne.
    Annoys me a lot, had to give up on it.
    So I wish she'd go again....😄
    (& Ray Darcy could go too imo).

    Amazing the way they can go away when they want and get back to work straight away when they want, wouldn't like to be waiting my turn for some voiceover work.

    Bibi is a good broadcaster with a good voice, and she has a track record (admitted that most of it is not recent).

    I'm not surprised that programme makers employ her when she is available.
