    Remember that guy from Donegal who briefly became famous in the mid 90s- ish when he appeared on a TV dating show in the UK(possibly the one with Cilla Black,can't be certain)?

    Was it Bernard McHugh. He did a weird thing with his front teeth I think.

    Yes,this fella.He was on with I think Pat Kenny a few times I think then dropped off the national radar.The last time I saw him on the telly there was some talk of him being in a film.

    I was staying in a hotel in Coleraine some months back and there was a poster of them - they were playing there the next week.
    So obviously still on the go.

    Like the IRA and Country 'n' Irish music, Crystal Swing haven't gone away you know.:(

    No, its both.

    "Global Learning and Talent Development Specialist
    LinkedIn
    April 2014 – Present (1 year)Dublin
    "

    It appears that training is what she does now, often a career that those in the media can cross over to.

    It's about celebrity's that have vanished, nobody cares if you've heard of them or not.

    Emma Ledden a great shout

    Last I seen she was a judge on TV3's search to find a new Xpose presenter in 2009.

    She'd put on about 6 stone :(

    Isn't Sheana Keane on TV3 now?

    Think she was just filling in for someone else for a while. Met her once through work. Very attractive I must admit. You definitely would.

    Think Derek just retired. He was a salaried RTE employee, not self employed like most of them. So once he reached retirement age he could just take the pension and not have to work any more. Beats having to keep going till you're 80 like Gay Byrne.

    Some small parts (according to IMDB, last in 2006), always thought he was a good actor alright.

    Seán Drea - the rower (memory triggered by re-watching Father Ted with commentary - Arthur Mathews notes Drea as one of these sort of celebrities)
