We're an acoustic band, not a drums-and-guitar rock band, so the PA needs to be configured and operated accordingly.

If we're providing the PA then all we require is a 13 Amp mains socket within reasonable distance of the performance area — we don't want the audience tripping over extension leads (as they invariably miss the beat).
