This website was established in 2005 by Eddie Gentles. Since then, up to his very untimely passing, Eddie worked tirelessly building, improving and updating the site. Eddie loved, and was very proud of the website and the success it became. It was Eddie's expressed wish that, should anything happen to him, blues-twos.com should live on and go from strength to strength. We never imagined that day would arrive so soon and we are all shocked and deeply saddened by Eddie's sudden passing. To respect Eddie's wishes, and those of his family, and to honour his memory, we will do our best to continue to grow the website. This will only be possible with the continued support and help of all who have contributed to the site since day one. We have set up a new email address to contact the site and our choice of address reflects that this will always be Eddie's website, we're just looking after it for him. We look forward to your continued support and we thank you for your visit.
David & Eamon.
