Last night saw us take a big step toward the dream, we played the auditorium at The Winding Wheel, not as a support act but as the main event. The gig was to celebrate 20 years of Enable Housing, a local charity.

As you can see from the photos the Winding Wheel Auditorium is a nice large venue, in fact we've now played in each of the 3 rooms the veneu hires out, and this time we didn't need to use the ridiculously small and slow lift, so we rolled out the big guns, the 12k PA rig the drum riser, all the banners and roped in a local photographer to come and do his thing, check out http://www.artisanimage.co.uk/ for examples of his work, it's just a pity we couldn't use all the lights, lasers and smoke machine but there's always next time, just imagine it. We have some photos and videos coming so keep tuned into the website for them.

This really is what Rio Five are all about, the big band playing big songs on a big stage to a big audience and we loved every minute of it.

Thanks for your continued support and we hope to see you soon at another big event!
