Tom Service was discussing this issue on 'Music Matters' today. Lots of fudging from various political spokespersons.

One of the reasons I voted Remain!

I took things like this into account and felt on balance it was better to get out, that’s why I voted Leave!

I guess it’s down to what comes out of Theresa May’s negotiations during the two-year Brexit process.

I'm sure traveling musicians will be at the very top of her agenda...

Well, this topic isn’t really about travelling musicians, it’s a much wider political issue.

I do think it’s a shame that Anneke Scott had a bit more passion for her art. She seems easily put off ....

"There's a reason why we work so infrequently outside of the EU," she says, "because you have to get visas and paperwork."

Yes, and it's also on the 'Talking about music' forum!

Can't see where there's any talking about music!

But it's actually about something that affects many of us, not just musicians and there are other issues to consider when or if a political solution is forthcoming.

Well there won't BE any music if musicians aren't allowed to travel freely! At least it will end up being more provincial and less international.

Still, so long as the right wing of the Tory party are appeased...

Don't start all that fear nonsense again! There were musicians before the EUSSR!

I'm voting labour anyway. If everyone else does, the Tories and Theresa May will be history!

You're voting Labour? Where's your loyalty to UKIP gone?

What a superb young woman and another reason to be ashamed of the referendum result.

Job done. Loyalty?

What's that got to do with it?

(and you should vote labour too. The LibDems will only split the anti-Tory vote)

It was a great referendum result and nothing to be ashamed about. We should be proud that we have thrown off that huge undemocratic monster. Now we can get on with some sensible international trade.
