Geri Maye being interviewed on Today on RTE One tv now.

I met Bibi Baskin at an event a couple of years ago. I believe she runs a small hotel in India.

Shauna Lowry..... Many fond memories of her.
According to Wikipedia "She is currently a presenter on Thomas Cook TV."

Whatever happened to his organist Norman off Quicksilver? He was some cousin of my mother's father.

Toni The Exotic Dancer.

The lad with the ponytail from Limerick who used to present that fashion show that pre-dated Off The Rails.

B.P. Fallon,I know hes still around but you never see him on the telly anymore.Ditto Brush Shiels.Ditto Pat Ingoldsby.

Maxi is the one I always wondered about - I know she reappeared every Christmas Day or so, and recently retired - but having been a mainstay of early morning/late night radio for years and years she disappeared abruptly for a long time.

Having done a bit of googling, I think you might be right

I'll amend my post above - sorry again, Pat, if you're reading this - I have no idea who I was thinking of!

How the hell has Pat Shortt vanished? He has been busy in recent years including roles in several films including "Queen & Country" (2014), "Calvary" (2014), "Life's a Breeze" (2013)..

Lord Lucan was a regular on Spitting Image.

Don't really think Lord Lucan could be regarded as Irish,even if he did own an estate in Mayo or somewhere.

Anyway,some more examples.

That chef with the funny looking Abraham Lincoln type beard who used to be kind of high profile in the 80s,can't think of his name.Think he went bankrupt and more or less disappeared off the scene then.

Eileen Reid from The Cadets showband.She became a bit of a Jesus freak and used to be on a lot of TV debates about religion.

That young lad who played the lead in The Butcher Boy.Last thing I think I saw him in was The Big Bow Wow.

Anne O Dywer, she used to sing on Going Strong, back in the early 80s?

Don Conroy
Samantha Mumba - met her about 15 years ago in Liffey valley on a school tour. Got her autograph and thought I was **** hot! Then a couple of years later, one day I was cleaning my room and it fell on the floor, I let the hoover take it.
Soky
Snotser
Dustin
Kathryn McKiernan - She was just nuts

Mary Kingston - she was another head the ball

And yes I do realise most of those are Den related!
