Dick, you don't mention how you will be paying royalties. Do you intend to buy CD's from CM (presumably as a retailer) at dealer prices and then make an ADDITIONAL royalty payment to the artistes involved? How will you calculate the royalties? How would this be possible unless you are content to reduce your own margins? OR do you intend to simply attempt to purchase from Bulmer and then stiff him for the royalty element that you have calculated so that you can remit to the artistes concerned? If so it sounds just a tad naive however altruistic it sounds! Perhaps you actually mean to bootleg original material. Please put me out of my confusion. Whilst I thoroughly agree that it would be good to make more folk music available please never forget that Mr B and the bag carrier Sharpley will surely take you to the cleaners if you attempt to write your own "terms of trade". Good luck anyway.
