Touring Musicians: EU Visas and Permits — [Dr Rupa Huq in the Chair]
18 November 2021
Responding: Julia Lopez
Main Concerns
['The music sector accounts for nearly 200,000 jobs and was worth £5.8 billion before the pandemic, with 44% of musicians receiving up to half their earnings from EU touring pre-covid. British musicians face significant obstacles in obtaining work permits and visas for tours across 27 different EU countries due to varied requirements and regulations. This leads to substantial time, cost, and complexity issues, threatening the viability of organisations and potentially driving away talented artists.']
Specific Asks
["The Government is urged to reach agreements with all EU countries for consistent regimes allowing British musicians to tour freely in the EU as quickly as possible. The Minister is requested to deliver on the Prime Minister's promise to fix the issue, provide clarity about progress made and expected timelines."]
