GUEST,P.H. 30.4.02. 'Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer' saga: Part 3 (124* d) RE: 'Celtic Music/Dave Bulmer' saga: Pt 2 30 Apr 02


I am not able to give my name at the moment, but it will soon become common knowlege. I too was foolish enough to sign contracts with this company and I believe I was the first ever to do so. Celtic Music owe me a considerable amount of money in royalties and still hold copywright on my works and any attempt on my part to raise this matter with Bulmer is either ignored or answered evasively by Neil Sharpley, who still acts as front man for this organisation to this day. Celtic Music is NOT a member of MCPS, which in itself is very unusual for a record company and they collect royalties direct from record companies, which makes the job of tracing these royalties very difficult but not impossible. I have taken legal advice on this matter and my case is watertight, and although I have little hope of recovering monies due to me I will fight for the rights to my work. I have raised this matter with PRS and provided them with all the information at my disposal concerning this company and it's dealings, and you will not be surprised to hear that every clause in my contract's dealing with the obligations of Celtic Music towards me have not been kept, other than to collect monies due to me and retained. I can understand why so many artists were duped into signing contracts with this company, I knew Dave Bulmer personally as a friend and fellow musician, I have visited his office and stayed at his home and if he can treat me in this fashion it is no surprise that he has no problem cheating others. I should mention also that I have released several C.D.'s without Bulmer's knowlege in different countries and I would welcome a challenge from him on this matter. If you would like more information I can contact you direct by E.Mail, let me know. Keep up the good work, it's good to see that so many others are striving to bring down this corrupt organisation.
