I don't bother with abroad. My passport expired about six years ago, and I've never even thought of renewing it. TBH I don't bother going anywhere much. I think the last time I went away for pleasure for more than a couple of nights was to the Lakes about eight years ago - a whole four nights!Originally posted by Alias View Postbut once its done...the touring of Britain can stop and we can go back to holidays abroad...

Agents ask for mine, and I explain I only have an expired one and send them a scan of that, and they're quite happy with it. I think they just want to be able to put it in a file and tick the box; they know nobody will ever check itOriginally posted by Alias View PostHuh, how about that...I get asked for my passport before every gig
