I always make sure I eat properly before a gig. The timetable often works like this: 6.30pm - set off for gig 7.00pm - get to gig, set up and sound check 8.00pm - start playing for dancing 9.20pm - break 9.40pm - resume playing for dancing 11.00pm - finish gig and clear up 11.30pm - set off for home 12.00am - get home With the food on offer during a break varying from none to a buffet, I take no chances and make sure I have a meal before I set off. I also take a Mars bar or similar in case of low blood sugar. There's no way I'll eat at midnight. Everyone's different.
