...that little boy who joyned the Smiths on stage when they performed "Panic" live at some concert or tv show?? Everyone must have seen the performance or at least some pictures of that boy aged about 10 in his school uniform...Does anyone know who he was and where he has dissapeared?

Don't know the kid but the programme was "Eurotube" - a marathon version of Tyne Tees (England) music show "The Tube"

As a failed actor myself i can throw some light on this.His name was Carl Lightfoot(honestly)!!he was plucked for his appearance on the Tube from a local theatrical school in Newcastle.he went on to make fleeting appearances on "grange hill" and "biker grove"( which is where i got to know him).It is no secret that he went on to develop a rather horrendous narcotic problem.he relocated to the Edinburgh area and did in fact have a bit part in a new play at this years Fringe.

Apparently he said Morrissey was very nieve to him and gave him a signed tambourine!! i did try to get him to appear at a Smiths convention but he was rather "unwell" at the time,

Ahem....unwell, yeah?? Ok thanks - is he a nice guy? he did look cute back then but I couldn't help but notice that his singing wasn't too impressive. I envy him though for Moz patting his head at the end of the performance.
