Posted at 16/10/2009 13:30 by themariner In it's previous incarnation, Messrs Driscoll and James did eventually buy the company back (it was Channelfly last time) on the cheap, at a fraction of the price it listed for earlier, it having failed to deliver real profits. Shareholders pretty much lost everything.Well worth do the full historic research on these guys. The appear to be great at "doing deals", but there also appears to be a singular lack of the important stuff - real trading profits, consistent, and rising. I think all they did after taking Channelfly private was bide their time until there was a new "story" that could be swallowed by the stockmarket - in this case the so called growth story in "live" music as opposed to recorded. The "deal" with HMV was, on paper a corker (for mama). I wonder when HMV and it's shareholders will wake up to the fact that it was sold a lot of hot air. Worth noting that Luminar recently warned on profits citing unemployment in it's key demographic, the 18-25's. I think Mama could similarly suffer in it's barfly's. Word is they're struggling and some are being or have been closed. Spouting hot air and doing deals that do not really bring in the profits to justify the prices paid end up with tears all round - eventually. Some of the prices paid by mama for the assets they bought in the last couple of years were at eye watering multiples. I think the clever ones were the vendors, getting out at just the right time in the cycle. Surely a candidate for a short? |

Posted at 22/1/2008 12:29 by constantine maybe Hands will buy this lot after he's bought Chrysalis to complete his 360 degree music model. Mama is not just venues, they have artist management too - Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs and loads I've not heard of. Schroders own a chunk of this lot and Chrysalis.....worth keeping an eye on |
Posted at 26/7/2007 14:06 by themariner Anyone getting carried away with this stock would do well to properly research the history (start with the avove), by which I mean Channelfly and the acticities of Messrs Driscol and Dean. Shareholders were royally treated to a whole lot of "dealmaking" which resulted in the complete collapse of the company with the abovenemed gents then buying at all back at a fraction of the original price. Shareholders lost everything.Deja-vu? These guys can do deals, they're hype merchants. There was only one thing lacking last time - real "trading" profits. The only people who seem to do well out of channelfly/mama are Driscol and Dean. There's a lot of "activity" in music right now, which I guess is why they popped up on the public company scene again. Will history repeat itself??? |
Posted at 24/3/2007 11:26 by njp Of course, the obvious guess is something to do with Sanctuary Group, given the bid last year. This post taken from the Sanctuary Group BB quotes a rumour, but may be just putting 2 and 2 together.Richardsj - 23 Mar'07 - 15:12 - 1046 of 1047 BREAKING NEWS - MAMA.L STATEMENT. Remeber they tried to takeover SGP last year. Industry gossip is the deal involves SGP - Helter Skelter seems to be up on the blovk and would fit re managements statement in Jan that exhibitions is under pressure so would be a natural area to offload. The remark about it being a material transaction under AIM rules (with MAMA being capped at £18m at present) would imply the deal is worth at least £20m. Watch this space......... From the SGP website: Helter Skelter is the largest and most prestigious booking agency outside North America. The role of agency within the music business is to develop the artist's career within the live music sphere. The agent is appointed by the artist and will consult with both manager and record company to develop the most effective way to promote the artist through the medium of live entertainment. Helter Skelter has a wealth of experience developing and maintaining the careers of artists playing shows at every level, from club shows to multiple stadium performances.The company now has a roster of over 350 acts covering most music tastes and including such prestigious names as Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Franz Ferdinand,Kings Of Leon, Craig David,The Darkness, Marilyn Manson, Avril Lavigne and David Gray. |

Posted at 31/1/2007 09:41 by silent_angel Looking at the old RNS about Sanctuary snubbing MAMA, because they wanted to wait for 2006 results before considering and sale or aquisitions, now 2006 results are out and Sanctuary is now willing to consider sale or aquisition.Perhaps MAMA will now bid again. Here are the extracts...... MAMA walks away from Sanctuary Date: Monday 09 Oct 2006 LONDON (ShareCast) - MAMA Group has withdrawn the proposals made to troubled music group Sanctuary in July and is no longer considering making an offer for the company, it said in a statement today. The firm, whose proposals were rejected by Sanctuary, had been seeking to formulate a proposal which would be in the best interests of both MAMA Group's and Sanctuary's shareholders, it said. But it added that "Sanctuary has made it clear, through their advisers, that they are not prepared to engage in any meaningful dialogue with regard to MAMA's proposals." Having further considered its position, MAMA now believes that there is "little merit" in attempting to continue to seek an acquisition of Sanctuary and therefore withdrew the proposals and is no longer considering making an offer for the company. Then an extract from a Sanctuary RNS. "A number of approaches have been made to Sanctuary expressing interest in a number of its businesses. Once Sanctuary has announced its results for 2006, it expects to be in a position to consider these strategic proposals." And finally an extract from Scotsman after the results were out, "The music management group Sanctuary said it was looking into the sale of some of its businesses as it attempts to return to profitability. |
