Where Are They Now?
The Story
When Big Tom McBride split with
the Mainliners in early 1974, it rocked the country and Irish scene.
The Mainliners had been one of the most successful country bands to
emerge from the showband era. Love them or hate them (and many did)
they were packing in them in by the thousands in ballrooms across
the country. It was still hard to imagine why Tom would part company
with this long time band mates. However, as was previously
experience with the split of the Drifters, Miami, and others, it was
probably inevitable.
