Glasgow venue 'struggling' as 'confusing' Brexit rules threaten to kill independent music scene

A popular Glasgow gig venue has warned that "confusing" Brexit rules are damaging the independent music scene.

Chris Cusack, manager of Bloc, spoke out after German punk band Trigger Cut were stopped from entering the UK by border guards who ordered them to produce documents no one had told them about.

The band was set to perform at the Bath Street venue on Tuesday but instead were left humiliated and thousands of pounds out of pocket after being told they would be sent home if they didn't produce "Certificates of Sponsorship" (COS) for all seven venues they were due to play at, reports the Daily Record.
