Back with a vengence! (Us, not Elvis)
Firstly, apologies for the delay in writing the blog, been busy, but Fri 6th March saw Rio 5 make a glorious return to their new spiritual home, The Grouse on Chatsworth Road. The band the week before were "good at what they do" but all they did was Blues, Blues and more Blues, and they pretty much emptied the place, so we didn't have much to beat to be better, but we blew (no pun) them out of the water, twin lasers, 6 fantastic musicians, a brilliant collection of songs and a pub full of punters who were soon singing along, one bloke even said we were the best band he'd seen in The Grouse for 4 years, now, I've seen most bands around Town and we're good but not that good yet... (just you wait til 22nd May, oh yes) and we even managed to get Elvis in the building for a song!
We've got a bit of a gap now until the next gig, Ian is on holiday for most of April (jammie git) so we're back on it on 2nd May @ The County.
Until then, you can keep up with us on twitter (see top right) for regular updates and random ramblings from me and we've got 2,3,4 new songs to learn before then and cram into the set (I know what they are but I'm not saying)
One last thing, it was nice to see Daddy & Grandaddy Wilson out at the gig, cheers for turning up guys, Big 'Un's proper settled into this Father-lark, you could tell by the sensible jumper he was wearing. ;-)
Until next time!
