**THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED**

WE WILL ADVISE MEMBERS OF A NEW DATE IN DUE COURSE

Price: FREE

Following the announcement on 19 February by the UK Government of its new immigration policy, followed by a highly inaccurate article suggesting that EEA musicians would need visas to perform in the UK, this workshop will provide clarity on what the new immigration system will actually mean for the permanent recruitment and short-term engagement of musicians after 1 January 2021. We are aiming for it to be attended by officials from the Home Office.

As there is likely to be significant demand for places we would ask that organisations send just one representative.
