Now that it’s a matter of public record, I shall publish on Lyrebird Music’s website the names of the editors who are bringing this action against me and Malcolm Archer, and I will detail their lack of diligence, which resulted in a necessary second edition of the Holst piece, including their emails, and the reason for changing editor after they came back to me with two sets of corrections separated by some months.
My work on their original typesetting, reverting the first edition back to one closely resembling the manuscript will be detailed and a log of these and the differences between the first edition and the second will be made public.
I will show how one of these gentlemen lied and obfuscated the facts, which were given to a lawyer who either told them to delete messages or who was not diligent in trying to find out the truth. In either case, she has demonstrated negligence and a breach of a ‘contract’ of professional behaviour.
There will also be a question of why they tried to implicate Marie-Louise Langlais and Frédéric Munǒz in their action by trying to coerce me with a lie (an embarrassing message they subsequently deleted; in a case like this, both the coercion and deletion of the message is illegal).
There will also be screenshots of menacing messages sent by the former and amateur editors in relation to this case and a yet-to-be-replied-to complaint about one of the editors to his employers at a cathedral about the actions of their titulaire organist (not from me).
These two princesses have driven me through the courts to the point of attempting su***de (I’m now going through the angry phase and there will be no worries about that in the future). They are trying to destroy everything I have worked so hard for and it has cost me my British state pension in trying to defend what is arguably a narcissistic toddler’s temper tantrum.
You will be able to decide for yourselves who is guilty and who did their best to secure their reputation.
When the web page is complete (I have now pre-paid a ten-year subscription for Lyrebird Music's web hosting, so that no matter what happens, the site will remain live), I will inform everyone here and on every group to which I belong of its address and content. Their names and the information will be sent to the 2,747 subscribers to Lyrebird Music’s newsletters. I will shout it from the rooftops if necessary. Liars cannot be rewarded.
More importantly, making a false allegation against a Norwegian resident is a criminal offence with a penalty of up to ••ten years in prison••. I have instructed my Norwegian lawyer to make an official complaint with a directive to investigate these allegations and have the princesses prosecuted in Norway.
After that, I shall prosecute them for every penny I have spent on this case, the loss of my UK pension and substantial punitive damages.
I’m also going after their lawyer for professional misconduct since she failed to question the plaintiffs properly or instructed them to hide evidence: the case should never have been brought. If she reads this, as she no doubt will, she must know that she is as much to blame for this s**t show as the princesses since she either encouraged a malignant prosecution, encouraged the obfuscation of material evidence or was derelict in her work. In any of these situations, she and her husband will be also reported to the Norwegian police.
As several influential musicians have implied, once their names are made public, they will never be invited to play either as solo or duo organists. In other words, the vindictive nature of this suit will, ultimately, cost them their careers.
I’ve stopped being scared by what reasonable people might call narcissistic liars. I really want to see them prosecuted by the truth.
PS Someone who has me and Malcolm as a friend on Facebook has been feeding these princesses information (the princesses have blocked me so I cannot see their posts about me). What sort of a person is so twisted? Obviously, one who is transfixed with the celebrity of two fine but irrelevant musicians.
