I have three tables, people, events and epeople. epeople includes a person
id and an event id and works as a list of people attending events in the
database.

The following query returns a list of all the people participating in a
particular event
given an event id.

select people.id as pid, concat(lastname, ", ", firstname) as name from
events
      left join epeople on events.id=epeople.eid
      left join people on epeople.pid=people.id
            where events.id=2;

How could I get a list of all the people not participating?
      thought I would add to the where clause with:
            and people.id is null;

but that returns an empty set.
