Just as an encouragement that the PEL situation hasn't completely killed live music in England, here's a session which has a PEL, since it's part of a little festival and the landlord is keen.

2nd Ashwell Solstice Festival 2002
Rose & Crown, Ashwell

Sunday 23rd 20:15 Mega Folk Session

More information about the lot in the Folk Festivals PermaThread.

If anyone is nearby (i.e. in Herts/Beds/Cambs or London) on that day, please come. PM me if details are needed. Free camping can be arranged.

Cheers!
Ian
