Before I get told off for derailing, I am replying to some derailed conversation....This isn’t really answering my question . Why not grab a drink and then watch the support band?
I don’t have a strong argument other than, why not? What else are you doing which is of a higher priority?
Arriving late or staying in the bar, while not knowing who the support was, meant I missed seeing artists I love such as Diary of Dreams and Kevin Ayers
Always best to arrive on time and listen.
