This is the series of musical heads I drew recently at a gig that was held to draw attention to the problems that musicians are now facing because of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. This isn’t a comment of the pros and cons of withdrawal, but about how musicians are being affected.
When the UK left the European Union, musicians lost the ability to tour without restriction in Europe. This means that performing and selling merchandise got more complicated and expensive. There is a petition asking the Government to Face the Music and find a solution to the issues facing musicians who want to tour Europe after Brexit. The petition organisers say, “Music is a central part of our cultural identity; it champions diversity and supports our local communities.” If you want to sign the petition here it is.
