Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that Bridie is in poor health and hope she will get better. I worked with Bridie many years ago when she did a tour of the states for Bill Fuller who then owned "City Center Ballroom" in N.Y. as well as many other places across the U.S., Canada and Ireland. I worked for Bill at City center and he asked me to go on tour with her in the US.. Folks can say what they wish and whether you like or dislike her singing, she was considered an International Record artist back in the day when it was difficult for many good singers and musicians to get on a record. She was loved by many cacross the globe and always gave her best to her audience. A great singer and a great personality.. No matter what, the show must go on was what she used to tell me.. I later lost touch with Bridie and often wondered how she was getting on.
Jim,... If possible, please tell her Tom Fitzgerald (accordion player) was asking for her and wish her the best of health..
