Hard to believe that our last tour was 9 months ago — and that our next one is just weeks away! We can’t wait to see you for magical autumn evenings with us and @themorningband, alongside a very special (world premiere) performance by Maer 🍂

We are pleased to announce that we will hit the roads of Europe this autumn for a magical evening with our friends from @themorningband and a very special appearance from Maer, the new project of Marjana Semkina and Anna Murphy.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday, 5 July.

With this proposed increase, bands would be looking at $6-10k just for visas. For the type of bands I've toured the United States with, that takes us over the edge and makes such tours impossible. If you've toured the States, fill this survey!

US visa fees are absolutely crippling as it is. On top of normal fees, they require an agent or U.S. lawyer to be processed properly. And with the ongoing massive backlog in processing, outrageous "premium processing" fees have become the norm. 1/2

[Music Managers Forum @MMFUK]

The MMF and FAC have today reignited our #LetTheMusicMove campaign in order to oppose newly-proposed changes to US visa applications that would result in potentially crippling costs for UK artists looking to tour the USA.

First touring season since COVID. UK last month, now North America. After a break, some of the downright crazy things we simply accept as the law of nature seem even more mind-boggling. “20% merch commission, artist sells” - F*** you, how about 20% beer commission, venue sells?!

[Merlin Sutter @merlinsutter]

In 🇬🇧 at least, some are taking action: https://t.co/bVliwZiiPC
