Showbands like the Dixies, the Royal, the Miami, Dickie Rock, Big Tom, Gloria, Mama's Boys, Mick Flavin and hundreds of other bands traveled throughout Ireland, often performing in ballrooms, hotels, dance halls, marquees and parochial halls.
In 2004, Big Tom’s son Dermot McBride took Ginger Morgan's place on Bass Guitar, Peter McCarthy took Ronnie Duffy's place on drums and Robert Browne, a second keyboardist in the band, appeared to took Cyril McKevitt's place on Trombone (however both were performing for the band in their Q4 2005 tour).
