Small group of people

I talk to quite a lot of people involved in the UK folk scene both here on Mudcat and out there in the real people. Many of these people think it's a shame that Nic Jones' work, as well as the work of many other singers and musicians has been unavailable because of Mr Bulmer. Many more would like the opportunity to find out more about these early recordings, but come to folk music later than me. I'm fortunate enough to have the recordings in question on vinyl, although I would like to replace them with CDs as the vinyl copies are well-worn.

In my opinion nobody is using facts to whip up hysteria. The facts do bring out strong feelings in people, though. I agree that threats of bodily harm have no place in this forum, but I don't believe that it was meant seriously.

Now if you want to see a really 'small group of people' hold a meeting of 'Bulmer defenders'.
