I am pleased to announce that as of April 6th due to the increased amount of touring work, Mr John Anderson has accepted my offer to join Blackstone River as full time Lead guitarist.
He has taken the place of Ian Robertson who has been with me since I re-launched the Duo up here in Scotland, Ian has done a great job over the last 18 months, however due to work commitments he is unable to tour. I would like to thank Ian for his contribution and dedication to the Duo and I wish him all the best for the future. Lee.

Blown away by latest duo
DEAR FRIENDS
WOW! What a great night we had in the company of Scotland's latest duo Lee and Ian, known as Blackstone River. Lee's voice must be the best country voice we have heard in years, and everyone sat up at the first note. You'd better make sure you catch up with them very soon, and if you book bands, BOOK THEM! There is no doubt in my mind (and everyone else's who has heard them) that we will hear a lot more about this duo. Thanks guys for giving us such a good evening, we'll see you soon.
