For entry, you apply for a visa, and also a work permit, such as one would have to do to tour the USA, for example. I don't know whether the EU will now apply CITES, as the USA does, but if it does, you simply complete a 'carnet' to travel with your instrument(s).

As for cancelled gigs. Does she not think that the world-wide pandemic had/has something to do with gigs being cancelled? My band hasn't gigged for 11 months (a year next month), but then none of us were financially dependent on the income from them.

So all the musicians (big and small) saying this is a major ballsache are what? You think they're making it up?

While at the same time being told by people who it doesn't affect one bit that it's really nothing to worry about.

A lad I used to work with was having a tough time and was able to up sticks and move to Berlin almost overnight. Came back a year or so later a changed man with a new sense of purpose. Had some incredible times. Guess now he could move to Stoke.
