We receive numerous requests to perform at events & weddings in France and have done since 2009. One common inquiry we often encounter after BREXIT is, " Since BREXIT how can you legally perform in France as a band with British members? "

Our band comprises British members who hold European citizenship. This means you can rest assured that we will be present at your event, and not refused entry through the borders like many musicians travelling to France from the UK.

If you're organising an event in France, it's essential to ensure that both you and the band you hire comply with local regulations.

Since the UK's exit from the EU, British citizens are required to have a valid work visa to work in Europe and must declare their income and equipment at the borders.
