Hello, this is a begging request for the wise people of this board. I am trying to find a good forum or two for music from the 1970's. It needs to be good as I am trying to track down a person. he toured OZ in '73 I know the name but not if he was in a band. So yeah the phrase needle in a haystack comes to mind.

So if you know any good music discussion forums make them known as my google search just came up with crap.

Thanks in advance.

Some very knowledgeable people there.

What's the name, for the record?

Craig Heaven only thing I know is that he toured Australia is 1973. I'm trying to track him down for a mate.

Lets just say this guy met my mates mum and errr this is how my mate came to be. :(

Hm, ouch. I don't like your chances much taking that avenue. If he was an international artist, then maybe he'd be famous enough for you to have a chance, but if he was himself Australian...very doubtful.

Not to be too negative, just that your friend would be better off hiring an investigator of some sort rather than relying upon that scrap of info.

Maybe, I also know that the guy was english and that is about it.

I take your point about the investigator, but I am not sure he has told many people about this so as a mate I feel obliged to do something. Even if that means spamming every music website out there. Someone somewhere must have known him.

Well, I hate to be a further downer, but a surname like "Heaven" could be a stage name as well. Anyway, good luck with it. The website I linked has an extremely comprehensive database of bands and musicians, so you might be lucky and find him in there.
