Simple. We will have to reopen the coal fired power stations and hope the wind keeps blowing. :lol:

Long but well worth reading. It is now very difficult for bands to tour in the EU.

I read that piece by Fish on Farcebook. As you say, it's well worth a read.

I voted remain but why is it that The Beatles, could happily play the Star Club Hamburg in 1962 yet now, bands are finding it nigh on impossible to work in Europe.

They did not have all the checks and beaurocracy in those days. The Beatles breached at least one regulation, George was under age.

2points. Firstly due to Covid nobody is touring any time soon. Secondly bands from other countries outside the EU (USA) have not had any problems in organising European tours. I also must point out that before we joined the EU - common market as was then - there were few difficulties in visiting European countries. Actually should have been more hassle as those were the days of having to use Travelers Checks. In fact people (usually the well to do) were touring Europe no problems since end of the Napoleonic wars. Beatles in Hamburg a good example. Maybe this is a result of the unelected commission becoming more controlling or just making up new barriers to punish us? Probably a lot of it is hot air in any case. Obviously filling in a few forms has become a challenge to a lot of people used to everything instant and computerised.

Bonkers Boris kept the whole world guessing until the last minute if he would or wouldn't pull his No Deal stunt.

Meaning that nobody could sort any terms out for things like status, work permits, visas, whatever beforehand because the exit rules were simply not known.
