Thats more the sort of thing I'm worried about, its happened to me once,
but the only thing that suffered was a sampler (which too a while to boot)
and a random rack unit that got its memory scrambled.

The venue is most well known for its folk bands, so I doubt they care much
about the power. I'm expecting a few hundred people, but they will mostly
be "unapreciative" ;)
