@Craig I couldn't get your query to work as I get an error message saying Type Inference failed in the call to SelectMany.

However I took your advice and went from using the join to an "olde style" pre ANSI type query:

        var query = from pe in genesisContext.People_Event_Link
                    from ev in genesisContext.Events
                    where pe.P_ID == key && pe.Event == ev
                    select ev;

Which produces fairly decent sql!
