Subject: RE: 'Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer' saga: Part 3
I too am sute that the BBC does not consider CM to be its enemy and I never suggested it either. The point that you have missed, guest, is that the BBC now employ Collyer Bristow to advise musicians how to avoid the "bad guys" of the music business. As this advice is offered by a solicitor )Mr Kanaar?)who has a crusade against bad practice it is hardly acceptable that he should also work for the likes of Dave Bulmer and his companies. Is there no morality in the legal business and is everything up for grabs if the price is right? As a musician who has learned the hard way over many years it now seems that the only way to learn about music biz rip-offs is to experience them. If the BBC offers in house advice it really should ensure that the solicitor it engages has clean hands. Essentially it's down to morals of which there are very few in the music business and those who feed off it. But I'm sure that the unnamed gust will take issue with that as well!
