    I'm over half way through the Bernie Gunther novels and will now have to savour every sentence as there will be no more.

    Incredibly talented writer who transported me back to 1930's & 40's Berlin.

    Sad and surprising to hear. Always very quiet spoken and respectful of his interviewee. Good player in his day.

    Morning Ireland reporting that 'Big Tom' McBride of Big Tom and the Mainliners has died. My dad's favourite singer. Never seemed to be off local radio when I was a kid.

    Great urban legend about the Band scheduled to appear in the USA yonks ago and a load of stoners showed up for the gig due to the Mainliners reference.

    I so want that to be true!

    Edit.
    Despite my efforts to appear an urbane sophisticate, Mary Wilson's show on Radio 1 has just namechecked the tiny Rossie townland where I grew up in her tribute to Big Tom. You can take the boy from the country etc....
