We joined a chorus of voices from across the music industry speaking to @guardian today on why #Brexit is so bad for the #MusicIndustry

[Music4EU @Music4EU]

We did warn them 🤬 several times.

[Sammy Andrews @sammyandrews]

😂 Can we start on Friday? 🤪😂

Fun fact - that envelope contained a letter (@Music4EU) signed by thousands of music industry folks saying Brexit would be a disaster for the Uk music business … 🙄

We were told we were wrong 🙄

Sigh.

We tried.

[Tim Burgess @Tim_Burgess]

At The @CommonsDCMS, @MrJohnNicolson pointing out that a musician from Tonga has better access to touring in the EU than a musician from The UK has. All down to our government rejecting a visa waiver that was offered

[Carry On Touring Campaign @CarryonTouring_]

Listen to Drummer Steve Barney and Carry On Touring's Ian Smith explain to LBC's James O'Brien the complexities of post Brexit Creative Touring, on the CarryOnTouring Website.

If only someone had told the uk government this might happen…… 🙄

[White Lies @whiteliesmusic]

Tonight’s show can’t go ahead, even though we are in Paris. We are so gutted to announce this. News on rescheduling ASAP. Details below.

[Music Managers Forum @MMFUK]

[Sammy Andrews @sammyandrews]

What a knob.

They government are destroying our business in so many ways right now I don’t even know where to start.

💩

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

How does the music industry survive the economic impact of two summers of Covid and Brexit visa regulations? And how should artists plan for the future?

@MMFUK’s @AnnabellaCF and electronic musician and producer @kellyleeowens discuss with @maitlis ⬇️

[James Hall @JamesFHall]

I spoke to Blur’s Dave Rowntree and Primal Scream’s Simone Butler about looming crisis for UK bands touring the EU post-Brexit. Visas, red tape, costs… A "cataclysmic disaster” awaits unless action is taken. Industry could be dead in 6 months. @Telegraph

Music industry decries first 100 days of Brexit as a ‘disaster’

We need our government to work harder for an industry that brought in £2.9billion in 2019

[NME @NME]

The government previously blamed the EU for musicians being left out of the Brexit trade deal https://t.co/pVA4ID4RNg

[Tim Burgess @Tim_Burgess]

I think we are owed an explanation @OliverDowden

[Sammy Andrews @sammyandrews]

Thank you @TracyBrabin ❤️

The brilliant Tracy Brabin has consistently stood up for the music industry in the house when many have not.

🙌 we deeply appreciate it.

Thank you Tracy! x

[Sammy Andrews @sammyandrews]

Thank you @KevinBrennanMP for fighting for the music industry (again) in parliament today during the EU bill debate. Your dedication to helping our industry is so very appreciated 🙏

[Nitin Sawhney @thenitinsawhney]

To @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @pritipatel The UK music industry needs you to address why musicians were left off the list of workers not needing visas to work across EU member countries. Our industry is extremely lucrative for the U.K. Touring is essential. https://t.co/53RlGJLy8T

[Sammy Andrews @sammyandrews]

🗣 Some of us have been fighting for this since the vote.

❌ The deal makes no provisions for the UK being a service driven economy and it makes zero anything for touring musicians!
