Brexit and the UK Music Industry – A Troubling Future

Brexit has certainly been a very controversial topic ever since it first began, but did you ever think for a second, that it would have a major impact on the future of the music industry? Very soon musicians will no longer be able to freely travel across the EU to play shows to their fans, instead if they wish to play anywhere within the EU, they will have to have travel visas, which will be very costly for sure. 

This is going to make life very difficult for independent musicians like Tom Lumley, who has just recently released his first EP with his band. The music industry has already suffered so much over the last year with the Covid19 pandemic, and with restrictions beginning to be eased, many artists no doubt are very much looking forward to getting back out on the road and performing to their fans. But, with this border that is being put in place between the UK and the EU, we must wonder, what does the future hold for the future of the music industry? Take a listen to find out.
