Andy IOM - it's not true to say Dave Bulmer is a crook, leastways not in legal terms, which is all the courts recognise. Please believe me when I say that a number of those involved have explored all possible avenues.

I posted the account of Dave Bumer/Celtic Music for people's information as it was clear that some 'catters were not aware of the situation. The information may affect whether or not you want to do business with Celtic Music (which company appears not to be registered at Companies House, by the way . .) It's why I don't own Bright Phoebus, for example.

Things have got very heated in the discussions (yup, I'm heavily at fault there - sorry). However the artists most significantly involved accept the situation as it is and we must do the same. Failing to do so has served to increase the anguish for some of those involved more closely than me, which is where I do feel guilty . .

That said, at Sidmouth it was wonderful to see Nic Jones on stage, with Tony Rose (and Tony's family), for the final song of the Tony Rose benefit concert. Sometimes, life really does seem good.
