Passport And Visas Requirements To Enter The UK
Please note: Following the recent referendum vote for the UK to leave the European Union (EU), there are currently no changes in the way people travel to Britain. The following guidelines still apply:
If you're planning an adventure to the UK, depending on your nationality and your reason for visiting, you may need to organise a visa.
If you're an American, Canadian or Australian tourist, you'll be able to travel visa-free throughout the UK, providing you have a valid passport and your reason for visiting meets the immigration rules (link is external).
Citizens from some South American and Caribbean countries as well as Japan are also able to travel visa-free around the UK.
European Union citizens, non-EU member states of the EEA (Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland), Switzerland, and members of the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) do not need a visa to enter the UK.
If you have any further visa questions visit the official UK government website.
Anyone that has any questions, please feel free the comment below and I will answer them for you.

Cancan for Wind quintet from the Not Quite French Suite featuring the Loughborough Sock Man
Score available from
Not Quite French Suite composed by David Warin Solomons (dwsolo.com)
and published by Musik Fabrik (Editions de la Fabrique Musique) (classicalmusicnow.com/)
This suite in octatonic mode hearkens back to some of the French musical styles of the early 20th century, but all transposed to the mode of limited transposition (as Messaien called the octatonic).
In the case of this final movement, the Offenbach Cancan (from Orpheus in the Underworld) was the main inspiration.
When the composer saw the Sock Man statue (created by the sculptress Shona Kinloch) during the veteran cars show in Loughborough, in June 2015, he was inspired to illustrate the music with photos that he took there, to illustrate this movement.
The Suite is also available as an organ solo.
For more information on the Sock man please see:
Derby County F.C.
Derby County Football Club /ˈdɑrbi ˈkaʊnti/ is an English football club based in Derby, England. Notable for being one of the twelve members of the Football League in 1888, it is one of only ten clubs to have competed in every season of the English football league and, in 2009, was ranked 137th in the top 200 European football teams of the 20th century by International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
Derby County F.C. was founded in 1884, by William Morley, as an offshoot of Derbyshire County Cricket Club; it has spent all but four seasons in the top two divisions of the English football league. The club's competitive peak came in the 1970s when it had two spells as English League Champions and competed in major European competitions on four separate occasions, reaching the European Cup semi-finals, as well as winning several minor trophies. Additionally, the club was a strong force in the interwar years of the football league and won the 1945–46 FA Cup.
