Subject: RE: Celtic Music Dave Bulmer (6)
Hello All,

Just a quick enquiry. I'm not inclined to reveal my name, but I work for a Universal affiliated record label based in the UK. I've recently been asked by HMV & Virgin to discover who holds the rights (and the masters) to the Nic Jones catalogue, and then to license them for general sale.
I've spoken to Nic's wife Julia, (very lovely lady), but she didn't feel comfortable revealing any names.
As it happens, I've clued myself up anyway.
However - before I begin the seemingly painstaking process of negotiation with Mr. Bulmer I was wondering if anyone here could provide me with a little bit of a breakdown regarding what licenses Mr.Bulmer actually owns. Also a coherent and unbiased brief of how the general story stands at present.
By the way - I have every intention of ensuring that Nic receives his just royalties for any re-issues.
Regards,
