Happy New Year! I trust you had a restful break over the holidays. You will no doubt be aware of the immediate challenges faced by everyone in the jazz sector at this time – namely Brexit and the continuing restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. To help you weather the storm, we’ve carefully selected a list of resources to help you through the coming weeks and months ahead. Where possible, we have tried to breakdown guidance with regards to live streaming, travel support and the Brexit checklist.

The UK has officially left the European Union as of 00:00 on the 1st January 2020. This means it has now left the EU single market and customs unions, which will in turn result in a significant change for all business and self-employed workers living or based in the UK. This will also mean Businesses in Ireland will have to adapt how they work with UK businesses in the future. Below we have included resources relating to the following topics:
