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" ;)

Forgot to mention - I have also *performed* in a venue
where the power (ALL of it) cut out twice during our show.
I guess they were pushing the circuit breakers a bit hard.
Would have really sucked if I'd had to reboot.
Fortunately I was playing bass. :)
Audience was maybe 200, pretty big gig by my standards. Steve Harris wrote:

In other words, it really depends on the "venue". :) I've never gigged a PC before, so I'm a
bit nervous about it. I might try
to borrow a UPS from somewhere.
I have found it's not neccessary.
