The night would have worked better if the bill had been turned upside-down, so we could have had a nice noisy start with the MM's, and the Kitchen Cynics could have spread their wings at the end of the night. No offence to the DJ who was doing the clubnight afterwards, but I felt the 11pm curfew put a damper on proceedings and all the bands should have had more time to do their thing.

I think the 11pm curfew does hurt the gig in terms of flexibility, organisation and freedom of expression - but those are the rules laid down by The Tunnels and we have to accept that.
I think the gig could have been better if MM had time to carry on. They certainly wanted to go on for longer...
Personally, I didn't overly enjoy the MM set because, as Dave mentioned, I thought they had more to give (and they gave a bit more in Glasgow on Saturday, albeit with similar time restrictions...)
