We know @cj_dinenage wants to help make touring in Europe easier after #Brexit and we appreciate the efforts of @DCMS to support the #CreativeIndustries.

But ultimately, we know what we need now - @BorisJohnson must negotiate with a visa waiver agreement with @EU_Commission

"This degree of excess paperwork, not to mention the many costs, is brutally unsustainable." - Dominic Dromgoole

#Musicians need @10DowningStreet to negotiate a visa waiver agreement with @EU_Commission to reduce the burden on touring after #Brexit.

As a priority, we're urging @10DowningStreet to negotiate a visa waiver agreement with @EU_Commission separate to the #BrexitDeal exempting touring performers, creative teams & crews from needing a visa when seeking paid work.

Cut the red tape, not tours

The #BrexitDeal has not only impacted the #musicindustry, @BorisJohnson. It has implications for the entire #CreativeIndustries. Both the UK Government & @EU_Commission must ensure close cultural collaboration continues.

To ensure a future for 🇬🇧 #music in 🇪🇺, it is essential for UK Gov't to deliver on its commitment to frictionless work travel by negotiating a new reciprocal agreement, that allows performers to tour in Europe freely for up to 90 days.

Important discussions today in @HouseofCommons & @UKHouseofLords on the impact of the Brexit deal on touring musicians. It's essential for Government to negotiate a new reciprocal agreement that allows performers to tour in Europe for up to 90 days, without needing work permits.

[ISM @ISM_music]

Lots of activity in both the @UKHouseofLords & @HouseofCommons today on the impact of the #BrexitDeal on touring #musicians & possible solutions to touring arrangements post #Brexit. Thank you to all MPs & Lords for their contributions.

See our thread for highlights 👇1/12

[ISM @ISM_music]

This petition has 260,000+ signatures & must be debated urgently in @HouseofCommons.

We call on @BorisJohnson to deliver on government's commitment to frictionless work travel for #musicians post #Brexit by negotiating a reciprocal agreement with the EU.

Later, Lord Whitty asked the Lord True @cabinetofficeuk about reciprocal provisions in #BrexitDeal negotiations on mobility for touring musicians and transport of instruments.

The loosening of political ties should have no bearing on cultural ones.

[ISM @ISM_music]

We are grateful to The Earl of Clancarty for raising the vital issue of musicians touring across Europe in a #LordsQs about #Brexit earlier - including our recommendations for either extending Mode IV or creating an EU-wide multi-entry touring visa. #FreeMoveCreate

[FreeMoveCreate @freemovecreate]

63% of respondents cited difficulty in securing future work in EU countries as the biggest issue they face due to #Brexit. Read
