BREXIT VOTE: MUSIC INDUSTRY COMMENT ON ENGLAND LEAVING E.U. AND IMPACT ON MUSIC INDUSTRY VIA PITCHFORK

Music and culture webzine PITCHFORK  has featured an insightful article on BREXIT VOTE's impact on the music industry including touring visas, copy right, festivals, artists funding and more.








Yesterday, 6/24/2016 British citizens voted to LEAVE the European Union  after over 40 years.
Scotland and Ireland voted in EU.



ITP V.016 EDITORS NOTE:
In the context of the BREXIT VOTE. it's possible (not confirmed) that UK (British) bands will need a VISA just to tour the European Union mainland, and will be taxed (more) and need a carnat detailing equipment.
Ironically, not much different than touring NORTH AMERICA (post 9/11) as even that is bureaucratic for American bands touring their home continent.
 England's BREXIT VOTE could possibly be more bureaucratic and expensive to export bands.   
BTW, on a non music bizz related note, hoping for a united Ireland.


FROM HUFFINGTON POST:
“The British people have made the very clear decision to take a different path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it in this direction.” -- David Cameron
