We had similar problems setting up the Uk bank account for The Friends of the Mudcat" here in GB.

Now we used the Unity Trust, a body set up by the British Trades Union Congress to cater for non profit organisations. Does the AFL-CIO sponsor any similar organisation ? Does the US of A equivelent of the Musicians Union have any connections ?

I appreceiate that Banking Laws in the US of A differ from the UK but I doubt that you are the only body in this situation.
