Um, yeah, we (The Fargo Railroad Co. - 4 piece southern rock originals) last played a run of shows in Spain pre-Brexit and the promoter has been hankering after us going back again, and we loved it so are well up for doing it, what we no longer have any clue about however is, getting us and gear over there, is that still doable? is it insanely expensive and complicated? has anybody here done it recently?

Get ready to list everything down to the individual patch cables... otherwise they will be viewed as imported items and be subject to import and vat etc etc.

 

Join the MU and then get their advice.

 

If you are getting paid - some countries need work permits, insurance etc etc

 

The attached file is the flow chart from the MU

 

Good luck.
