"The MU's Contract Advisory Service is a fantastic resource and gave me and my band peace of mind that we were entering into an agreement well-protected.
“The solicitor that worked on our behalf kept us updated, explained complex clauses, and fought for our best interests.
The most impressive part was the solicitors’ ability to come up with compromises on clauses that both parties were happy with, which had previously been deadlocked. Thank you!
Martin contacted the MU’s Wales & South West England team for help in the first instance. Andy, Ruth and Calliope were able to guide him through the next steps in accessing free contract advice.

About 9Bach
9Bach was formed by Lisa Jen and Martin Hoyland in 2005. Lisa on vocals, harmonium, and piano and Martin on guitars and percussion are joined by Ali Byworth (drums and percussion), Dan Swain (bass guitar), Esyllt Glyn Jones (harp, vocals), and Mirain Roberts (vocals).
9Bach’s music is an atmospheric, evocative, and emotional hybrid of the Welsh folk tradition, and of contemporary influences and working practices. Building on a deepened, almost ambient sound picture, the songs take you into the landscape and the emotions that it evokes. Music is a living thing, not a museum piece, and the way that 9Bach compose and perform reflect this.
