oh hello, there you are, it's been a while hasn't it?!

Mucho apologies for the lack of updates since the summer, I'd like to say we've been busy playing out and about but things seemed to have dried up over the back end of the year. This is something we're working on over the winter.

Not that we haven't been busy, we've been evolving the set into more of "a show" rather than just a pub band, with a view to doing more charity work and playing to a wider audience range in 2010 by playing fewer, but larger gigs, indeed, if you know a charity who could benefit from a fundraising concert with Rio 5 then tell them to get in touch.

We've recently dusted down our acoustic guitars and are working on "while my guitar gently weeps" & " you are so beautiful" and adding our own "feel" to them and look forward to performing them soon as well as some more "dancy" tunes which we felt were missing from the show.

As always, keep an eye on the website, http://www.livepartyband.co.uk/ or the twitter feed twitter.com/riofive and we look foward to hearing from you.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year from everyone involved in Rio 5!
