Linda and I were at Gastove's session on Saturday night and although there was a PA, it was by no means compulsory and wasn't set too high. Linda, myslf, and the Gundolph's crowd didn't use it - the accoustics are quite good in that bar. While it was "spots" rather than a singaround, everybody who wanted to do one got on OK. Could have done with a few more people there though.
