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)

"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 🤷‍♂️
