Kamasi Washington: Brexit could make UK less appealing

“It is not an inviting idea … and then, yes, there will be the notion of coming to Europe and the ease of travelling from one country to the next. That is part of what makes touring possible for lots of artists,” Kamasi Washington told the Guardian about what happens with UK exiting the European Union . “Once it becomes harder to get into a country, just logistically, much more planning would have to be involved,” the US saxophonist said to London paper. “For bigger acts it won’t be so much of a hurdle as it is for smaller acts for whom it may become too much to do", he says. In February the organisers of the world music festival Womad said they were struggling to book artists because of Brexit uncertainty.
