Music is at risk post-Brexit. We need to #SaveMusic

Music is at risk post-Brexit. We are calling for freedom of movement to be maintained for musicians after Brexit, or the introduction of a two-year working and touring visa. Touring Europe is a daily aspect of a musician's work. If British musicians cannot work easily in the EU, this will damage the UK’s cultural influence and threaten our world-class music industry.

Follow the ISM on:

The Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) is the UK's professional body for musicians and a nationally recognised subject association for music education. We support over 9,000 musicians across the UK with our unrivalled legal advice and representation, comprehensive insurance and specialist services. We campaign tirelessly in support of musicians’ rights, music education and the profession as a whole.

It will sort the wheat from the chaff will stop new bands touring pretending to be bigger than they are, it will also make musician run their bands as business and maybe venues will start paying.
As soon as a band starts running as a business they can claim back all expenses, instrument & amp costs, merchandise costs off their tax.
Bands need to make it at home and earn their stripes before trying to make it abroad.
Let's face it low key bands play for nothing abroad they do it for exposure and they dont really sell anything that can warrant paying much tax on

Nonsense, both European and UK musicians were touring the world long before the EU, long before the EEC became the EU even, and will remain doing so long after Brexit is done and dusted. American bands tour the UK and EU, regularly they are a seperate state, do they have visa problems?

I resent having to pay for this ridiculous propaganda as part of my membership
