He used to be on kid's TV shows playing his guitar, he had a hairstyle like Dave from Slade, he never siad much. I just wanted to know who he was, and if he's in a band now.

Use this thread for other such questions of what happened to so and so...

Hi Jel, thanks for asking.
I'm glad you liked my performances on Children's TV. It was a difficult time for me, being so young and talented. After the TV gigs dried up, I found myself addicted to scratch tickets and spent the last five years drifting the countryside, rooting through dumpsters for accidentally-discarded unscratched scratch tickets. Then, six months ago, I met a woman who changed my life. That woman was Jesus. God bless.

I can think of about sixty-three thousand kids fitting this discription from over the last thirty years. Several of them were at the Frankfurt Music Fair today, trying to reclaim lost glories loudly and annoying me while I tried to try out new instruments.

What happened to world kick-up champion and Ajax trainee Sonny Pike?

I remember The Kid. He was called Thomas something or other. Does that help?

Whatever happened to Matt Belgrano then?
