Memory of the late Wonderful Big Tom McBride & Rose William & Ita Fitzgerald with Big Tom McBride following an LTV2 interview at the Hazel Tree near Mallow in Oct. 2009. We had just presented a portrait of Tubrid Holy Well to gentleman supreme Tom. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the McBride Family on the recent passing to their Eternal Reward of Tom (this week) and of his beloved wife, Rose (eleven weeks ago)…Ar dheis Dé go raibh a nanamacha dílse. Through their lifelong Friend, Michael Commins who broadcast a three-hour radio tribute programme on Wednesday on Midwest Radio – William, Ita and I got to meet and to record Tom and Rose (who were always so very welcoming and so very sincere) on a number of occasions.
