Much of the problem in smaller venues, as has been said, is bands turning their backline up leaving the engineer no choice but to turn the PA up.

And yes I do ask them to turn it down, then I ask them again. Sometimes I jump on stage and turn them down myself. Once I even resorted to pointing a db meter at a 'repeat offenders' stack. 'Just watch what you're doing' he said, 'or you and me are gonna fall out'. Its not easy
