   • That's good. I was just concerned about going on after chickenhawk. That would be an injustice to the CH boys.

    • Take our advice, as we know from experience that Charger will go ballistic if they get 20 minutes, and have the plug pulled on the stroke of midnight.
      
      Make sure it starts on time and ealry, so you get some spare time to play with for any unplanned nightmares and disasters
      
      Tell bands to get there earlier than needed
      
      Crack the whip to make sure it takes no longer than 15 minutes to changeover (if a band takes longer, deduct if from their set time)
      
      And last of all, don't fall for the "we're lost/stuck in traffic" it's a cheap trick for bumping themselves up the bill, heh heh

    • never tell a band they have "time for one more". this only results in the band taking 5 minutes to decide which one they want to do then inevitably playing the half hour opus. just tell them "5 minutes then you are off".
      
      i've dragged people off stage by their trouser legs before now

    • I'll be cracking that whip no bother. And post 4:45 on the Saturday I'm sure I'll be in a foul mood so they'll be no messing about. Heh.

    • Yeah that always upsets me at gigs in general not just alldayers.
      
      You give a band a set length, if the band ignores it then kick the fuckers off the stage. Hate it when I see promoters with that rabbit in the headlights looks when a band starts taking the piss.
