Just a quick note to say that I'm getting involved in the campaign to improve the situation for British bands applying for visas to tour the UK. The key issues are around not just the delays, complexity and unnecessary bureaucracy involved for UK bands when applying to work in the States, but also in the seemingly arbitrary reasons for rejection. Track records and previous success appear to make no difference.
I'll post more details and what people can do soon, but in the meantime here's a picture of John Robb, author and musician, and myself on the Terrace of the House of Commons after our meeting with MPs yesterday.
