The bloomin' English weather... (Well it is a Bank Holiday Weekend I guess)

It's the end of May, very nearly June and you'd expect, given the brilliant Easter we had and the weather recently in general, that booking your wedding reception at Carsington Resevoir that it would be reasonably warm and pleasant, perfect for everyone to be outside singing and dancing and having a good time... and thats exactly what Lee & Jemma did.

It was all prepared, Rio 5 would be performing where they normally have outside seating for the visitors to the Resevoir, plenty of space, gorgeous views over the water and then, mid afternoon, the rain started...

But it's Lee & Jemma's big day, they weren't going to let a few drops of rain get them down, so we set up in the restuarant upstairs in the Visitor Centre and although during the daylight hours it didn't look like much, after Karen and her team had decorated the place, put tea lights on the tables, we'd set up our kit and light show, Craig the DJ had set up next to us, we'd got Bernie the Magician wowing both us and the audience (how does he do it?) the scene was set for a wonderful night.

We'd like to thank Lee & Jem for inviting us to perform at their wedding, it really as a true honour (and thanks for the advice on pricing) and we wish you all the best for the future, and you're welcome to attend any of our gigs in the future cos you really are a breath of fresh air.

PS: There's something quite disturbing about a duck quacking at 1.30am when you are loading up the van to come home...
