I'd say your focal length preference says more about your compositional preferences than the size of the venues. I'm guessing you tend to go for full body shots, or perhaps pictures showing more than musician, as opposed the head & torso shots that one normally would want a 50-135 for.

Maybe I should get myself a 31mm LTD

Actually, if I were you I'd be thinking hard about the FA35/2.
