True. Like the Cavern will frequently provide a local support act or two for a touring band. Not all the headliners bring their support with them. So they are dependent on the venue knowing what acts might complement them.

Thought the pensioners specials was on Wednesdays 😜

There are worse places to be stuck in the rain!

Turning up just for the main act didn't mean you weren't a proper fan of live music, just that maybe you have other commitments too and life is complicated.

Early finishes to combat the vagaries of provincial bus networks helps too!

Plus there were the years when the kids were young where it was impossible to be out for the whole night, not knowing when the main act would be on just made it more complicated than it needed to be.

I'm not sure how widespread the practice is, but some venues now do a double shift, live music early, then clear out for a later club night. Knowing the set times helps with that.

And hopefully home before the rain?!

Ooh, that's good to know. I was completely unaware of this films existence until it had been and gone at the cinema, so have added to my iPlayer watch list for later.

I'm curious to know where? in order to avoid!
