Subject: RE: 'Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer' saga: Part 3
John,

amazing how in trying to get away from off-topic whining I drifted into off-topic humor, isn't it? Sorry!

Dick's two solo LPs (No More Forever and Kist O' Gold) and at least two of his Five Hand Reel albums--classics all--are tied up in this mess too. It's a crime what's happened to him, and it's a crime that groundbreaking work like these albums are buried like this. I believe No More Forever was released as one of Bulmer's quick and dirty "CDRs lableled as CDs" (as have records by the Dransfields and Ray Fisher). No-one gets their royalties from these productions.

The only reason we tend to focus on Nic (or I at least) is that Dick at least has most of his records available on other labels and can still work. But all these artists are being swindled, and the world is being cheated of loads of great music!
