The Palm Tree Session was stopped by the PEL police about 18 months ago. We are now back up and running the landlord has filled in the right boxes and we are legal.

There must have been doubt that this session (or any session) was in fact illegal without a PEL but beacause no legal challenge was made to test it in the courts - we will never know. But its return now must be welcome news and if additional live music events now happen at this venue on other nights - it could well be evidence of an 'explosion in live music as a result of removing the discriminatory two-in-a-bar provision'.

Or you could say that it just balances the event lost at the Red Bull.
