I've been trying to contact Stephen for about 3 weeks as I have some things of his I need to post him. The phone number I have for Stephen no longer appears to be connected. It might be an old number I am not sure. i too have had no response on facebook.

Is it worth someone posting this question on concertina.net? (If it hasn't already been done - but I took a quick look on there and couldn't see any threads about it.) I don't belong to that forum, and am not part of the concertina scene, but one of them might either have an up-to-date phone number, or live locally enough to go to his house, ring the bell, and push a note through his door if nobody answers.

If it were me, I would also ask some of the neighbours when they last saw him. And if that comes up zilch, I think it's time to alert the Gardai. Fingers crossed the scenario doesn't get that far.

Contacting Stephen through c.net would seem a viable option (if   a drive to Kilkee isn't on the cards). Although, if he is away from the internet, as he has been on several occasions in the past, and not presently responding to facebook messages, he probably won't reply there either.

Stephen posted on melodeon.net about 4 hours ago, so I wouldn't be calling the Gardai just yet....

Spoke to Stephen yesterday - healthwise he was in good shape - he has very poor BB conections & his pc is getting old & clunky so he is not using Mudcat or FB as it has been wasting too much of his valuable time when he feels he should be catching up with his backlog of work.

Can you ask him to contact me via my website or by my new phone number, which is nought two seven six two nine one and six, and tell him someone from scotland is also trying to contact but we have out of date phone numbers, thanks

Had an e-mail from Bonnie Shaljean which more-or-less confirms what Jim Martin said
Perhaps those needing to contact him urgently should phone OAC in Miltown Malbay (number on their site), though I would heed Jim's point about Steve catching up on his backlog of work
Would have made enquiries earlier, but only got home from West Cork on Monday night

"West Cork"
The weather was awful - very much enjoyed what we saw of The Masters of Tradition Festival (though the local pubs could do with a serious musical re-make - made me feel like a tourist again)
Had a coffee in Ballydehob (mainly to shelter from the rain)

I would be another friend of Stephen Chambers who was concerned about his sudden (so it seemed) disappearance.
Should anyone contact him again, please send him regards from Robert and Jennifer in California.
Contact via FB is possible or playthetunes@gmail

Regards and thanks for the updates.

Robert

Hi all,

I’m trying to get hold of Steve - has anyone got an up to date number for him?

Probably your best bet would be to contact Oidreacht an Chláir at [e-mail] Sorcha (or anybody) - the website should have a current phone number
There is a concertina weekend just finishing here in Miltown Malbay at present so there should be somebody at the Centre tomorrow to pick up the bodies and collect the empties
Good luck

'There is a concertina weekend just finishing here in Miltown Malbay at present'

Steve was absent for the weekend, his usual concertina repair/maintenance workshop given to Evgeny Pichugin.
