""DAVEBULMER has been blacklisted by the Musicians union"
Name your source please I do not believe this is true?"


Dave Bulmer hasn't by name, but Celtic Music, the business for which he is effectively 100% responsible, has been listed in the "special notices" (now retitled "ask us first") section of the Musicians Union magazine.

Obviously it doesn't go into detail for good legal reasons, but gives this advice: "Members are advised that offers of engagement by or on behalf of the following should be reported to the relevant MU official BEFORE acceptance" followed by a list of business names and MU contacts. The list is updated every issue, but Celtic Music has been included in it in every issue for years.

As a matter of fact Dave Bulmer as an individual is a MU member and even on one of its regional committees, a cause of concern to some other members.
