Disgraceful.

🇪🇺 EU offered a “standard” Visa-free touring exemption

❌ Tories rejected it due to @pritipatel’s immigration crackdown

🇪🇺 “It is untrue to say they asked for something more ambitious”

❌ due to Visas, some acts may no longer tour the UK

Wonder if Roger Daltrey’s g-g-generation will pay for some Visas so artists can tour europe in the future...?
Indeed. Also:

UK fishing industry's value to the economy: £1.4 billion

UK music industry: £5.8bn
The MP for Cardiff West and big music fan (as seen at the #BrokenRecord DCMS enquiring) reminding us that rejecting visa-free tours is another broken Brexit promise by @BorisJohnson @OliverDowden etc
Hopefully @MattHancock’s former adviser, who’s now the chief executive at @UK_Music will do something about this “Brexit betrayal” for musicians and an industry worth 5 times what fishing is worth.
“We need complete transparency on what was discussed during the negotiations and an urgent statement in the House of Commons outlining what steps the government are taking to protect our world leading performing arts sector.”

Hmm.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has signed a letter demanding action from UK govt to ensure visa-free touring in the EU bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

Previously...
It’s worth noting that the Vote Leave campaign and their army of bots amplified Daltrey’s comments as an alternative to “so-called” “experts”

(although @KayBurley was rightly concerned that they originally ripped and rebranded the video)
They also incorporated Daltrey’s comments into their marketing assets

“Ek’s saying that musicians need to look at themselves less as artists and more as content creators. We have no muse to serve but the marketplace, and without adhering to the rapid 💓 rate that is Spotify’s demand for new food for their algorithm, our careers are bound to perish”
Let’s flip Spotify’s words:

“some streaming services that used to do well in the past may not do well in this future landscape, where you can't a (re)launch new groundbreaking music platform once every three to four years and think that’s going to be enough.” @eldsjal
"The streaming services today that are making it, realise that it's about creating a continuous engagement with their fans.

It is about putting the work in, about the storytelling around the service, and about keeping a continuous dialogue with your fans"

👀 @Spotify 🤷‍♂️
