[kj] Trump

[T.B.]

Yes, visas into the US for bands has become a big issue for those that aren’t major names.  This has been a growing problem for some time, obviously more complicated since 9/11.  About a decade ago when I was having correspondence with Brian James’ manager about getting a Lords Of The New Church “reunion” tour for the US, one of the reasons it fell apart was the cost and hassles of US visas.  Who knows how much worse this particular situation will become, but I can say it never got better under the Obama administration.
 
BTW, aren’t at least Big Paul and Geordie either US citizens via marriages or permanent residents here?
