Thread Name: Canadian singer Allison Crowe refused entry to UK
Subject: RE: Canadian singer Allison Crowe refused entry to UK
The information is easily found on the UK Border Agency website, although the system seems to assume a "creative worker" will be working for a single employer rather than doing a series of one-off gigs.
This situation was unfortunate for the musicians involved and their disappointed audiences, but it does look as if someone hasn't done their homework.
However, the allegations about the way they were treated while in detention are disturbing.
