You are joking - Les Barker not culturally unique?

I suppose the next thing will be Sid Kipper isn't, either... God help the Americans if they want an airbase at Justnear Trunch....

I wonder if this could be got round if an English entity paid a UK performer to play at a US venue, then the UK performer would be doing business in not with the US and maybe entitled to do it on a B2 visa.

If some US entity then paid the English entity, that could be dressed up as copyright royalties, and since the USA permits source licensing the collecting societies could not block it....

Just a thought: over to experts on US visa requirements next.
