Freedom of movement is limited to 90days in any one year unless you start paying tax, which means working. Gordon has already alluded to this in his posts about living in Spain.
Flitting over the channel for a gig is not considered as local employment since you are still paying UK tax and you wouldn't be an employee. You may also be aware that Merkle is asking the EU to close borders within the Schengen regions due to the threat of terrorism, not really an old fashioned idea then.
I'll stand to be corrected on that last point about Merkle since at the moment I can't find the article.

I too have read the story about Merkel wanting the borders closed but can't remember where.
There is of course a certain irony that she of all people should now be worrying about terrorism.........
