There has been some instances where an artist over runs his/her time on stage either due to time restrictions with no thoughts at all for the artists following them.This seems to occur when the programme is being recorded by the BBC and happened to me one year at Sidmouth.It was agreed with the organiser that due to earlier artists over running the remaining guest should restrict their programme to enable all to appear on stage, which we all agreed to do.The artist before us did such a long preamble about his two songs that the remaining guests could only do one number each and they had to be rushed.On speaking to this guest he admitted that he had done it on purpose.Had I have not just been going on stage I would have punched him between the eyes.I understand that some huge rows have occured at Rock Concerts over this very thing.Have any of you experienced a similar problem of this kind? Luckily the artist involved did not have his recordings used,so his crafty actions did not pay off.
