The website still wasn't working today, but here's hoping it's on its way to being fixed.
For any of you in the U.K. who haven't heard Coope,Boyes & Simpson and have the chance, do it! For those of us in the U.S. who have to wait for their next American tour, let's just hope that some level-headedness returns to the immigration bureaucracy (now part of our new Department of Homeland Security--that ought to tell everyone all they need to know about the red tape. Keeping the U.S. safe from foreign folksingers.) The most recent artist scheduled to come to Washington, DC, was Archie Fisher, who applied (as Georgina noted) many months in advance of his tour and who never received the work visa in time. It is all very annoying.
