The point is that Bulmer seems to represent all that is repugnant in the music business. He is a hang over from a time when artists were regularly screwed by record companies. The sheer number of complaints about his business ethics (or lack of them) is well documented. He is blackballed by the MU as a person/company NOT to do business with and has been for more than a decade. He operates a policy of single-minded unpleasantness to anyone that crosses him - and anyone that does will inevitably receive a threatening letter from his partner, Mr Sharpley. If you have read these threads you will know about Mr Sharpley. Is this the way that folk music and musicians derserve to be treated? In the 21st Century it would be nice to know that people and enterprises like those of Mr Bulmer act with decency and professionalism to artists - to ensure that they get royalties (for instance). As ever with this man nothing is that simple. But one day brother, KARMA, for sure.
