Hope the shoot went well Matt. I don't think that many people pop into this forum whihc would probably explain why you got no responses.
How about posting some of your shots in the appraisal gallery?

I hope it went well, too, and agree we'd like to see some results.
In future, I'd suggest upping the ASA setting to the max setting, set to spot metering (which I imagine is an option on the 300d), zoom in close and take lots of shots - including some with spotlights hidden just behind the musician or shining straight into your lens; these can be either stunning or disastrous, but always worth a try!

Matt,
Sorry for the belated reply. This is what I do.
Shoot RAW
ASA 800 or more (noise permitting)
As fast a lens as possible (that they will let you in with)
Spot meter
Normal set-up - ASA800, lens set at f4 (or faster) handheld at 1/60th second
Shoot when the lights come on
Oh and NEVER use flash
Here's some of my gig photos on my gallery
James Blunt, KT Tunstall, Paul Simon, Duffy etc

Good luck
Charlie
