OI POLLOI: "This allows people to take merchandise from one country to another, where freedom of movement & goods does not apply – as it may well not for British artists travelling to Europe, post-Brexit. A carnet currently costs £325.96, but that’s not the end of it: it requires the holder to list everything they take into a country. For a touring artist that covers every guitar string, drumstick, cable, T-shirt, every button badge. That has to be checked by customs officials on the way in & on the way out." WE'RE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THIS BULLSHIT FROM OUR FIRST TOURS. F*CK THAT. F*CK BREXIT.

Scottish punk legends OI POLLOI have commented on how BREXIT (England and the UK succeeding from the European Union) could effect touring bands.










In 2016 OI POLLOI unleashed "SAORSA"  via RUIN NATION RECORDS.







FROM OI POLLOI:
"Brexit’s greatest impact looks likely to be on the live sector, both on UK musicians going abroad, & on foreign artists travelling to the UK. Take the carnet system. This allows people to take merchandise from one country to another, where freedom of movement & goods does not apply – as it may well not for British artists travelling to Europe, post-Brexit. A carnet currently costs £325.96, but that’s not the end of it: it requires the holder to list everything they take into a country. For a touring artist that covers every guitar string, drumstick, cable, T-shirt, every button badge. That has to be checked by customs officials on the way in & on the way out." WE'RE OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THIS BULLSHIT FROM OUR FIRST TOURS. FUCK THAT. FUCK BREXIT.
