Aha, I didn't know he could look at getting a work permit through his connection to me - I'll have to look at that. I was thinking of sponsoring him as they're probably not looking for Jazz musicians or door staff

I'm a bit worried though because he got into a bit of trouble before I met him - has a conviction for shop-lifting that is almost spent. He was fined, so I'm hoping this isn't an absolute no-no. He's a very upstanding member of the community now (in fact he had to prove it to get his door staff licence).
Please do call me Diana
