Bloc manager Chris Cusack has warned that Scotland is 'haemorrhaging touring acts' and money.
A popular Glasgow gig venue has warned that "confusing" Brexit rules are damaging the independent music scene.
He said: "We sent all the documents we were asked for. Requesting COS documents is ridiculous. These certificates mean that venues are legally responsible for acts for 90 days which is totally unreasonable when you are only putting them on for one night. "It's now becoming impossible for me to book international bands. I'm getting phone calls from groups who are deciding to drop the UK leg of their tours completely.
"I have an Italian band that I've worked with for nearly 10 years. They have been coming to the UK for 20 years and this is the first tour they've lost money. I don't think they'll be back, the environment is just so hostile toward them.
