In the last three years, international travel was transformed not only by a pandemic and Brexit, but also by record inflation, civil unrest in many parts of the world, regime changes, and war. Shifting sands of visa, taxes, and customs regulations make touring hugely challenging for UK artists who want to tour in the EU, in the U.S. and beyond. Join this panel of experts for an artist mobility journey as they talk through the experiences of touring artists, and what you need to know to tour abroad.
With special guests:
- Marie Fol, Cultural Mobility Expert, On The Move, Keychange (co-moderator)
-
Matthew Covey, Partner, Covey Law & Founder, Tamizdat (co-moderator)
-
Skanda Sabbagh, Percussionist (Balimaya Project), Music Producer, Educator and Arts Council England Relationship Manager
-
Cils Williams, ATC Live
Presented by Arts Infopoint UK, On The Move, Tamizdat, British Underground, The Musicians’ Union, PRS Foundation, PPL and PRS for Music.
PPL, PRS for Music and PRS Foundation are joining forces at The Great Escape to deliver a packed one-day programme of networking, panels and member surgeries via #OnTrack - a takeover at Brighton’s Harbour Hotel on Friday 12 May. The takeover kicks off at 9:30am with a networking breakfast, where TGE delegates are invited to meet members of the PPL, PRS for Music and PRS Foundation teams and finishes the day with an In Conversation with PPL Momentum funded Ms Banks and manager Maria Lane.
