When you’re on the road for a stretch, the question of how and when you eat becomes a matter of profound interest, and eventually concern. Some venues feed you – vegetarian curry at a boardroom table on the top floor of an arts centre. Others send you to an adjacent pub. Mostly, the venue gives you a tenner each and leaves you to it – but the brief period between sound check and performance doesn’t leave much time to source and eat supper, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area.
