Is it not very odd for a bid to come in BELOW the then prevailing price?

What does the bidder (a substantial shareholder already, and a creditor too) know?

As you can see from my earlier post, I am not a believer in the capabilities of the current top team, nor the business model generally. I've heard they have been closing a number of their barfly venues recently, which I thought was the original core of the business.

They do lots of deals, get a bit of froth going, but then the enlarged business makes no money. Happened at Channelfly, seems to be happening here.

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?

highest number of shares traded today, beating Vodafone and all comers, probably an MBO on the cheap since no price movement MM's have been hoarding shares for the directors?

This share price shouldn't be down here...

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

("Pollination").

Pollination was incorporated in 2001 and acts as exclusive worldwide publisher
of a number of writers including Tore Johansson, the producer of the
multi-million selling albums by Franz Ferdinand and The Cardigans; Bjork
collaborator and producer Valgeir Sigurdsson and Danish pop writer Carsten
Kroeyer who has co-written with Melanie C and Lucie Silvas. Pollination also
works with one of the world's most successful DJ/ Producers Paul Oakenfold and
his Perfecto Music companies, supplying hit movies and TV shows with soundtrack
material as well as administrating the publishing of Oakenfold's own record
releases world-wide outside of the USA.

Pollination has a number of strategic sub-publisher partners around the world
including Spirit Music in the United States, Mushroom Music in Australia,

Adam Driscoll and Dean James, Co-Chief Executive Officers of MAMA commented:

"We are delighted to be making this acquisition. We believe that a more
significant move by the Group into the music publishing market underpins one of
our key strategic goals which is to build long term rights in music rights.
Through our interest in Pollination we have acquired a great roster of writers
and a solid team of sub-publishers around the world. We are excited about the
opportunities that we now have in the publishing field to work with artists that
we deal with elsewhere in the Group, for example those that play in our Barfly
venues. We believe that we can build a valuable Group publishing asset over the
coming months and years."

Acquisition of a stake in Lovebox Entertainment Limited ("Lovebox")


MAMA Group Plc ("MAMA") announces that it has taken a 25% stake in Lovebox, a
company whose shareholders include members of the band Groove Armada. MAMA has
made an investment of #300,000 in Lovebox and has taken an option to acquire a
further 25% of the company from February 2009.

Lovebox has the rights to run the Lovebox Weekender festival scheduled to take
place in Victoria Park in London on July 21st and 22nd 2007. The Lovebox
Weekender in 2006 attracted an audience of 35,000 people who came to see artists
including Jamiroquai and Groove Armada. The 2007 event will be the fifth annual
Lovebox festival which has grown from a one day show attracting 10,000 attendees
in its inaugural year.

After the 2006 festival London's Evening Standard commented "Lovebox indicates
that it has motivated promoters to raise the bar...if this is the shape of
summer festivals to come there will be no complaints from us". MAMA and the
other Lovebox shareholders are aiming to deliver an even better event in 2007 to
an increased audience.

Dan O'Neill, Managing Director of Lovebox said "I am delighted to welcome MAMA
as a shareholder. We believe that MAMA shares the same strategic goals and
ambitions as the Lovebox founders and management team. We feel that this
relationship will underpin the expansion plans that we have for the business and
the development of the brand."

Adam Driscoll and Dean James, co-chief executive officers of MAMA commented:

"We are delighted to be making this investment. We have been impressed with the
Lovebox team and feel that there are considerable expansion opportunities
available to the Lovebox brand which we can help facilitate - not just through
taking the festival into other territories, though this will be a key part of
future growth, but in a whole range of brand extension opportunities including
recording, publishing, ticketing and digital exploitation. We look forward to a
long and prosperous partnership".

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.
