Thread Name: 'Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer' saga: Part 3
Subject: RE: 'Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer' saga: Part 3
We have heard from many people who have dealt with CM and Bulmer etc - not often with fond memories either. Of course Bulmer puts his head in the noose when trading near to the edge of decency etc but in the past he has always had his partner Sharpley to fire off the poisonous and threatening letters. I am sure that he is probably still relying on Sharpley to do that even though he no longer can call himself "solicitor". When hit by the sort of vitriol that Sharpley can write (AND I HAVE SEEN SUCH A LETTER) it is quite possible to understand why people take cover. In the case of the Sharpley designed CM Records contract, I wonder if the artist is recommended to seek independednt legal advice? I understand that this was rarely if ever the case. It is very likely (perhaps others may agree) that at least one of the unnamed GUEST correspondants is Bulmer and or Sharpley and if so lads, why not come clean and let us see a CM contract?
