Where is Matthew Smith?   Message List

Re: Where is Matthew Smith?

Dazed & Confused have expressed interest, but that is mainly down to
whether I can get in touch with him or not! I spoke to the guy from
Edge, who tells me Matt has now moved away for his last address in
Dewsbury.

He seems to have completely gone missing since about 2001 - all
trails just stop around then. In fact, it's slightly worrying. Any
thoughts on people who would be able to get in touch with him? Any
help at all would be very gratefully received!
