Releases on Wicklow, the New York-based label operated jointly by BMG Entertainment and Chieftains leader Paddy Moloney, are on hold. The move follows the folding of BMG Classics worldwide -- which had handled Wicklow titles -- into the new RCA Music Group.
Wicklow acts have received a fax from Moloney and label executives Steve Macklam and Sam Feldman, partners in Vancouver-based Mind Over Management, which handles the Chieftains. The fax says, "All label-related plans for recording, touring, and releasing must now be considered in question or on hold."
Wicklow acts include Nova Scotia's Mary Jane Lamond, Irish group Sin E, Finnish folk-pop act Värttinä, Cuban guitarist Juan Carlos Formell, and Madagascar's Tarika.
BMG would not comment on Wicklow except to say that "everything is currently under review."
