About Us
Tim’s petition has chimed a chord with the public and in Parliament. Nearly 300,000 people are supporting UK artists and professionals who tour in the cities and nations across Europe who want and need to Carry on Touring. Join us today and help keep the pressure on the UK Government to go back to the negotiating table and unlock this important part of our economy. Touring isn’t working.
Carry on Touring is the umbrella campaign which all those who tour – and rely on touring - can support and sit under. It brings together voices from across the touring, cultural and creative industries sectors to secure cross-party support for Tim Brennan’s petition and campaign for a return to free EU movement for all touring artists and professionals. The strength of our campaign is that it is inclusive reaching across the sector, industry and political parties. This public facing campaign brings a spectrum of voices together to demonstrate its diversity and demographic.
