Where is the best musical community in the UK?

[dobrodave]

I am considering a house move and would love to find an area whare there is a thriving music scene, with lots of live music and interesting musicians. I love local pubs putting on live music nights where musicians from diverse backgrounds can get together and play together. Where in England does this happen the most?
