it would have been him not having a work permit .
these days it's almost impossible to get in as a dj or musician without
a work permit even more so if you are black .
his booker should have informed the promoters of the festival that they
need to apply for a work permit for him .

Getting a work permit for the USA is a funny experience that involves
a medical in which you have to prove you have no false limbs and what
sex you are, even tho your stood there in your pants you still have to
pop them down to prove it :) Even if you're self funding it's worth
paying an
Weird story, the post did not mention what the reason was for british
immigration to deny him access. I mean i don't think they randomly
deny people access just for fun. Anyone know what that reason was?

But if you haven't got a visa/work permit, you haven't got a visa/work permit.
I'm no apologist for regulations or overzealous bureaucracy, but the fact that
the rules have been re-tightened in recent years has been made crystal clear
You can go ahead and fly over without a work visabut anybody who
does this should be informed enough to know you don't tell UK customs
that you're there to DJ etc which I imagine Bone probably did. I
learned that the first (and only) time I flew direct to the UK and was
nearly denied entry.
Nothing beats the story (though I'm sure Ken can tell more accurately)
of Heiroglyphic Being somehow taking a wrong turn at heathrow into a
restricted area and managing to bypass security completely, only to

It's not a security measure at all. It's strictly a matter of
immigration law. Such laws make no distinction between brick layers
and DJs. If you're going to play internationally, you pretty much
have to follow the rules, because they WILL catch up with you
eventually, and they usually get
This is a good point - whereas pre 2001 if you managed to get away
with it once but got pulled up another time they would tend to be
lenient, these days if they get the slightest whiff that you'd broken
the rules in the past they will have no second thoughts about denying
you entry on a permanent
There was this dutch couple last year (or 2 years ago) who went on an
