It's great news that there's hope for Dick and other musicians that this could lead to a court ruling that they should get their work back; but whenever I think about the infamous reputation of Bulmer, I wonder if there's any chance there is still surviving work to retrieve? If their attitude to the artists is anything to go by, I would not be surprised in the least if all material held by Celtic is long-gone, either from deliberate destruction or negligent care...

I don't know too much about how this system works though to be entirely honest; like the Waterson family kept their own master copy of Bright Phoebus but was forbidden to commercially reproduce it.

Does Gaughan have his own master copies that he's currently not allowed to use, or is it entirely hoping that Bulmer's estate has kept the originals and they are of a usable quality?
