Fortunately finding a specialist music lawyer is not as hard as I thought it would be; Paul (my manager) has been involved in the music industry sorting out royalty and accounts disputes for about 25 years, so he knows the who's who and the most suitable choices.
I think it's really important to get a good lawyer on board from an early stage - they can even help secure a deal - they know who's signing what, and frankly, labels can't afford to ignore what their lawyers are telling / selling them. Ignore your lawyer's phone calls and he might not do you justice when it really counts.
Thus, i've been hardcore plugging (again), and received an email from Richard Hoare at Clintons (the entertainment lawyers) requesting live London dates yesterday which is a real boost. So i'm on the case booking some as we speak!
James Collins from Collins-Long is also very keen to get involved. Will post more as this progresses... It's really important I get someone that understands what i'm doing and that I really get along with.
