It makes you wonder somtime how much they really care about the music and the bands playing. Something reverse happened to us the other day at a London venue, we get to the venue in plenty of time for the other bands to turn up late (and we're the ones who had to travel 120 miles or so for the gig!) yet nothing is said - yet when 25 mins came they were telling us we only had time for one more song - you think there would be a little leeway considering we had brought most of the people in. Not to mention moody door staff, a disinterested Sound Engineer falling asleep during all of the sets! The Promoter not being their etc...

I know that some venues have issues about running over but say at the Metro would it have been that big a deal? What time did the gig end? And what time did Moses finish up?

alot of london promoters dont care about the music anymore, alot of them charge bands (alot of) money up front which they dont see unless they bring 30 or 50 people through the door, so on those 18+ gigs on a weekday it makes it very hard to do if you're an out of town band, the only way to get ur money back is to bring a big expensive coach, and the whole point of playing away from home is to make new fans. But you do also get some really nice london promoters who are still in it for the music :D
