Andy, you are giving what looks like it could be contradictory information here. Would you mind clarifying it for me?

First you said that Bulmer had obtained new counsel (8 Aug 12:05):

"Making further enquiries about Mr Bulmer's new solicitor reveals that he is a consultant with Collyer Bristow in London and that he is the man who assists new artists and musicians, through the BBC, with sage advice on how to avoid the traps used by Celtic Music/Records/Distribution."

But later you said (10 Aug 4:42):

"...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"."

Could you clarify this information for us? Do you have first hand information as to who the solicitors are for Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer? It would probably be helpful to someone like Pat, who is trying to compile information about it for their own case.

As to the contract issue, I agree with Guest John. There is one set of artists who who signed contracts with Celtic Music directly. They have a different set of legal issues with Bulmer than do the artists who originally signed contracts with the record labels which were subsequently bought up by Bulmer when those labels went out of business.
