Yeah, I don't know how I was allowed to sneak into the UK while I was working 
for Psychic TV for all those years. But then again, GP-O and family where 
tossed out of the UK. I would not bother going to the UK without a work permit 
these days. EU no problem.

But if you haven't got a visa/work permit, you haven't got a visa/work permit. 

I'm no apologist for regulations or overzealous bureaucracy, but the fact that 
the rules have been re-tightened in recent years has been made crystal clear. 

If the paper work is not in your possession before you travel, you're making an 
unwise decision to get on that plane. 

It's the responsibility of the agent and the promoter to make sure that this 
paper work has been dealt with before the artist departs. 

If it's not been taken care of, this is not a very professional thing to let 
happen. 

You can't buck reality unfortunately. It's not a question of generosity or not 
on the part of the immigration staff. 

It just is. 

Nowadays, anyway. 

And the immigration regulations for Europeans wanting to do temporary work in 
the States are just as stringent, by the way.

this seems to happen a lot with artists from the US in the last couple 
of years, I know the same happened to Egyptian Lover a while back and 
I heard that Stingray and Alan Oldham had similar problems recently.
