  1. clampdown on artists and academics I serve as manager to Allison Crowe, who, along with her Canadian bandmates, learned of these new anti-terrorist and anti-illegal-immigration laws when reaching Gatwick last week. Neither of the two venues where she was to perform in the UK had heard of the rules, and most people still have not.The extremely heavy-handed enforcement is yet another concern. Besides this information not being generally known to the people who are dealing with international artists regularly, when one does go to try and find out the rules, as noted in this thread, things are not entirely clear. What IS clear is the negative impact these rules have on our communities and culture. For sure, the Visiting Artists and Academics Petition is a valuable resource for understanding the impacts, and, hopefully, getting the government to repeal the legislation. Allison loves performing in the UK, and, in particular, shares a bond with Scotland. The smaller scale venues where she regularly performs tell us they will not be able to present any non-EU acts if the laws stand. On June 3 in London the group that is leading efforts to overturn the laws will host a night - "Cabaret Without Borders". Here's hoping such events can be organized around the UK and world.
