Read a Guardian article where Elton john bitterly accuses this government of screwing up the the entertainment industry and their ability to tour since Brexit. I used to like him but as he has got older not so much, however he is absolutely right in his assessment of how this regime has “fucked” (his word) music and artist just setting out on their careers. As he says he can afford to employ people to fill out all the paperwork that is now required but younger artists have not got his resources and it is a beuqacratic nightmare. not so bad if your a solos act but if your in a band, it’s not just the musicians but their roadies and other support not to mention transporting equipment! This industry is worth something in the region of £111 billion to the UK and to put that in perspective the fishing industry is worth £1.5 billion! Once again it is just one of the many examples of this governments complete disregard for the damage Brexit has wrought on our country. We gave up something we had never lost to find ourselves losing everything.
I am setting up a website to market my Art. With help from Adam (my son) we are int he process of setting it up. I will report further news as things develop
Stay well
