Loop for custom post types filtered by a taxonomy

I’ve figured out the answer using the WordPress forum. Solution below:

        <?php query_posts( array( 'country' => 'event-england' ) ); ?>
        <?php if( is_tax() ) {
            global $wp_query;
            $term = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
            $title = $term->name;
        }  ?>

        <ul>
        <span class="tax-title"><?php echo($title); ?></span>
        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <li><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/17046/<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a><?php the_excerpt() ?></li>

        <?php endwhile; else: ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
        </ul>
