I may be out of date but the last firm I heard of Sid in was Solomon and Finger - New York. He won't remember me but he might remember my former boss Claude Fielding.

Is there something about Celtic Music (the genre, not the company)? The same thing seems to be happening in both the US and the UK, independently I presume.

(See the Celtic music/Dave Bulmer thread)

The same has been happening as long as commercially exploited folk and trad. music has existed, I suppose. People who run a record label have to have an acute business sense, and sometimes it's too astute for their own (and their artists') good. Heard the same about Transatlantic years ago from a victim, a close friend.
I once asked a musician why so many artists (his own band included) were joining Greentrax' books. Five words: "Because Ian Green is honest!"
I hope the 'Five' will get what is due to them (and blaze a trail for others in the process) without Green Linnet going down.
