There are isolation exemptions for UK artists returning to England or Scotland from Europe. Or exemptions for international artists entering the UK. Applications must come via an established venue. artscouncil.org.uk/covid-19/…
For all those of you who haven't been able to get to a Les Barker gig since before lockdown, he'll be committing his brilliant comedy poetry online at Live to Your Living Room on Friday. This can ve seen from anywhere in the world. Details: livetoyourlivingroom.com/eve…

With concerts and festivals in the UK closed down while we're under lockdown, please support musicians by watching their music online and contributing if they have a tip jar available. Folk musos live from hand to mouth and many fall through cracks in gov. payouts.

Any musicians/entertainers entering the UK on a Tier 5 Certificate of Sponsorship and intending to transit in via Ireland, should note that you need an Entry Clearance Form BEFORE TRAVELLING. The form is downloadable - Entry Clearance Through Ireland form assets.publishing.service.go…
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for non-EU musicians coming in to play in the UK and travelling via Ireland, or spending some time there before doing UK dates. There have been important changes in procedure at Dublin airport. folkagent.wordpress.com/2019…
This is still a problem. Incoming musicians/actors/entertainers entering the UK on Tier 5 Certificates of Sponsorship please take note. DO NOT USE THE ELECTRONIC PASSPORT GATES - use the manned gates to activate your permission to work.
@Gatwick_Airport
Your Border Force officer entered an incorrect exit date on a Tier 5 entry stamp. Australian performer leaves 29 Oct but officer enetered 26 Oct (incorrectly using CoS expiry date rather than CoS end date). How can we fix this? Who do we contact? Help please.

@vickiswan Government is intending to change the early May bank holiday date in 2020. Vicki Swan says: The number of festivals this impacts is ridiculous. With 11 months notice, did the government not think this through? Please sign! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Putting tours together for 2019 and 2020 for the newly reformed COSMOTHEKA. Great music hall songs delivered with wit and authenticity. Interested?

Deeply sorry to hear that both Roy Bailey and Bill Caddick passed away. A sad loss for the folk world. Condolences to their families.
Dear UKVI, You constantly surprise me by the way your immigration officers at UK airports find new and creative ways to make mistakes when stamping musicians' passports on their arrival to the UK. How hard can it be?
Delighted to announce that Cosmotheka (Dave and Dan Sealey and Adam Barry) are available for festivals and gigs. All Cosmo's sparkle reborn. New lineup. Same Music Hall songs. Same old jokes. Same fantastic entertainment.
