Jenny Stanley Clarke review: Rip off artist 19

I always thought these complaint boards existed to complain about shoddy workmanship.  People fixing a boiler which they don't fix - not for character assassinations and for people to write what they like without foundation but clearly this collection of ridiculous people have nothing better to do with their time but moan about me. My health. how many time I am 'laid' and other such disgusting topics.  I am successful and with success always comes jealousy and these lists of complaints show that little are based on fact but what these folk have persuaded themselves are the truth due to their lack of success.  If they understood the business in which they  complain they would see how very stupid and puerile they all really are.

Also showbusiness promotion (written, online, radio and TV) is not an exact science because music and the arts are subjective.  What appeals to one person completely turns off another.  We as promotion staff can only make sure we get the product in front of who we consider the best person on a newspaper, radio etc but it doesn't mean they will promote it. To ensure such a thing is called advertising. You pays your money and takes your choice. Promotion depends on so many factors - such as a slow news days, radio, TV and social media happening at precisely the same time.  Promotion comes with absolutely no guarantees - which I always ensure is understood by the client. However, no matter how many times people are told the facts their egos rule their heads and they prefer not to take it on board.

I don't feel I need to defend the personal remarks made by these chancers but I will touch on some if only to show how untruthful and hurtful they really are.  This has turned into a "Lord Of The Flies" situation (look it up people) and I will deal with it head on.

I have been called a 'groupie', an alcoholic and drug addict.  If this be the case I would hardly have enough hours in the day to do all this conning and fraudulent activities of which I stand accused and which I refute absolutely.  I have worked at a high level in showbusiness for over 30 years.  Ten years or so ago major labels ruled and if they signed a talented artist the manager would be as important as the act.  If they were inexperienced or plain stupid (as every one of these people holding a grudge are) then the label would keep the artist but only on the proviso they got rid of the manager and employed one that the label approved of and were competent of taking the act to the dizzy heights which could be achieved with a talent  Although not even a major label an guarantee success and thousands if not millions were wasted annually on acts that didn't make it. .  Since the growth of the download bands and artists with or without managers can post their wares up on iTunes etc with no knowledge of aggregation, marketing or what they are doing at all.  Nearly all fail and money is wasted unnecessarily on acts and management with little or no talent.  Sadly this is what we have here.

In 30 years I have NEVER had a relationship with anyone in the industry who I have been employed by. I am certainly not a 'groupie' I would like to see evidence from the coward hiding behind a false name who accused me of this.  I have known my current partner for over 30 years and three years ago we got together after he had been separated for 2 years from his monster of a wife who is squealing like a pig with glee on this forum. Light bringer I believe.  Contrary to popular belief and led by the immense skills of "Sherlock" Seaton - Pete Way's comments are apparently not his own.  He is not a puppet but his own man and if he wants to comment then that is his prerogative.  It is true to say that during my working life I have always been 'hit on' by men and not being a cruel person and not given to hurt others' feelings if I can avoid it I have become adept at swerving the situation.  Every one of the people on this complaints board are men who have hit on me.  Some made it more obvious than others but they have all been flatly turned down and this is usually when the professional relationship turns sour.  Despite this I always try to do my job to my best abilities.

Drug addict and alcoholic?  Apart from the odd glass of wine I haven't been a regular drinker since the conception of my first son 27 years ago.  Drug addict?  I don't think so.  I don't think I would look as good as I do if I was into hard drugs. I don't even smoke.

I first met John Seaton some years ago when he was managing a girl group and he approached to provide a PR service.  The girls were easy on the eye but didn't have that all important hit song (being made to sing bilge written by Seaton) but due to their looks and dancing ability I felt they were worth a try.  After a great deal of hard work I managed to get them a double page spread in the then News Of The World.  In those days they had a weekly readership of 12 million which wasn't too shabby and would have given them massive exposure in the days before X Factor and The Voice etc. A sheepish Seaton called me the day before their photosession and interview to say the girls didn't want to do it.  They felt they were a more serious musical outfit (they weren't) and so they backed out.  Seaton is not a band manager he is a scaffolder and it would've paid him to remain so.  The amount of hard earned money he has wasted on trying to become  famous is obscene.  He has neither the talent nor the star quality to make it in the business.  He is a ...scaffolder.

in 2010 he again approached me to look after PR for his own band "Treason".  He wanted to put a single out through my own label Cubit.  My colleagues in the label and I told him time and time again that the he was wasting his money as the album just didn't cut it but he more or less begged us to work the project..  My colleagues explained that a bunch of 50 something builders and scaffolders with awful songs would most definitely not be a credit to the label.  However, after the girl band nonsense I felt he deserved a chance.  When we got down to trying to aggregate the single and asking for the parts to do so it became apparent he had signed to another aggregator. As a result we were unable to release his single.  He didn't tell us either he had  fallen out with the rock bible "Classic Rock" magazine some months before..  I do have quotes from the editor at the time which I will include in the emails at the end of this piece. The project was a nightmare from day 1.  Seaton seemed to think he was a 'rock god' and could not see that a band of old ugly men with a badly written and recorded album could never make it.  But instead of listening to people telling him the truth and trying to save him throwing good money after bad - his ego wouldn't have it.  No - it was the label's fault, my fault, the sound guy's fault - anything other than his lack of talent.  It really was dire and I asked people not to review it rather than completely break him by writing what they really felt.  Seaton goes on alarmingly about me not being available - I think amongst the emails you will see I went to meeting after meeting and considering it was a 250 mile round trip it was expensive and unnecessary waste of money.

In addition to the album he had written and self published a book called "No Happy Endings".  This was a paperback of around 5 thousand words 'proving'   there was no life after death.  Was the book based in research and new thinking?  No. It was based on the fact that after his mother passed she had not "come back" to visit him.  However I felt the book was probably cathartic for him as he was dreadfully affected by his mother's death.  I sugared the pill and said I would send it round to publishers to see if anyone would publish the dire tome.  I already knew the answer  and, as I thought, no one was interested.  Not only would they not publish the book but literary critics wouldn't even review it.  I must admit to sent it out under another name because to do so under my own name would probably have meant I would not be taken seriously again in the literary world. It was truly that bad.

I was asked for yet another meeting (again these can be found amongst the tedious list of emails attached to this post) and so off I went for another waste of time and money.  When I arrived Seaton was there with another band member.  The minute I sat down Seaton literally started snarling like an animal.  That was enough for me - I was off.  It was clear that he intended to physically harm me (as he has since admitted to) so I called the police from my car explaining what had just happened.  I wanted them to know if I was found dead in a ditch somewhere there was a prime suspect.  Thankfully apart from several abusive emails he quietened down.  I hoped that would be the last I heard from him.  It was until he started up on this complaints board.

The two mediums who I knew as Hide and Peel but I believe are now called Mediums Heavenly Voices are a whole different ball game.  I went to see them shortly after my mother died and I was impressed with what they did.  The were using an ouija board which consisted of putting alphabet cards around the edge of a table and a glass.  A question was asked and with all three people's fingers on the glass and it would spell out the answer.  Often this was a name or nickname or a place - all of which were fairly accurate.However, there is a scientific explanation for this which is called the ideomotor effect.

The movements of the ouija board cup are really caused by the ideomotor effect, wherein the subject makes motions unconsciously. These small, unconscious motions can cause movement that seems to come from a supernatural source — this is also true for other mystical practices, such as dowsing. The ideomotor effect is not magic in the traditional understanding, rather it's "the ordinary everyday magic of consciousness, " which, as everyone knows, is the most boring and worst magic of all.

What's interesting about this phenomenon, though (aside from the way it crushes our dreams), is the way it complicates our understanding of "owning" an action:

The interesting thing about the phenomenon is what it says about the mind. That we can make movements that we don't realise we're making suggests that we shouldn't be so confident in our other judgements about what movements we think are ours.

Whatever the explanation they were good at it.  The team were Andy Peel and Lisa Hide better known as 'Dumb and Dumber' in my personal circles.  They were two simple folk in their Forties and, despite their lack of intelligence, were rather charming and they certainly had me fooled.  As TV was just beginning to pick up on psychics and mediums with Sally Morgan and Colin Fry etc I felt there was a niche with what they could do.  They agreed to me managing them and I agreed to take no money until if and when we saw commercial results. There followed dozens of trips to London meeting with influential people most of whom were impressed by their skills.  Needless to say every trip to London involved me driving them at my own cost.  I had a showreel made at my own cost.  A photosession done at my own cost.  By the time we had all our "Ducks in a Row" ready to go up a gear and meet heavyweight agents I was down thousands of pounds.  I introduced them to Samantha O"Connor, daughter of Des, who ran an agency specialsing in the supernatural.  She saw in them what I saw but there was a falling out when she wanted to take what I considered far too much commission.  I was doing my best to protect them from rip off merchants - which ironically is what they have accused me of.  In the middle of the management period I had a stroke - an illness which took some coming back from.  However, this didn't deter Hide & Peel who harassed me to the point of obscenity.  If they weren't on the phone, they were emailing or turning up a the door.  I found out afterwards from a mutual friend that they didn't believe I had been ill.  Why I would make up such a thing baffles me to this day.  I was in a hole dug by the money I had spent on them and the only way I could recoup was to get them work so it served me no purpose to fake illness.

There was another rather unpleasant side to the male of the duo Andy Peel.  Despite me asking him dozens of times not to hassle the VIP or influential person I had introduced him to he insisted on asking "When will we be famous?  How much money do you think we can make? How far in the business do you think we can go?"  It cheapened them and frankly made them look like the frauds they are.  In their case they make money  out of people's grief and at a time in their lives when they are very vulnerable and that, to me, is unforgivable.

Andy Peel had a rather unpleasant habit of spending time at the grave of my mother, father and brother.  I can't say I was very happy about this.  One day he called and told me he had been there and left flowers but by chance I had been there myself just after the time he claimed to be leaving the flowers and there was nothing there. No flowers nothing.  When I accused him of lying he desecrated the grave.  They are the ### of the earth and I would like my money back.  I will be chasing them through the courts until I get it too.

I connected with an American agent who looked after the magician Criss Angel who was impressed by the duo's showreel. We discussed him organising readings by the pair at The Waldorf Hotel in New York with a possibility of gaining a spot at Vegas.  After an age of waiting he called to say he was between connecting flights and could we meet him at the Hilton at Heathrow.  Up we went and they did a reading from him and it was an utter disaster.  The majority of the answers were complete rubbish.  It was the first time this had happened and I couldn't figure out what went wrong.  As an expert he knew all about the ideomotor effect and didn't fall for the fraud.  He jumped onto his plane and when he landed back in New York he told me they were complete frauds and not very good at it either.  He said he had no problems with frauds as long as they couldn't be detected but they just didn't have what it took to go up the ladder.  Soon after they had called to ask "when will be in Vegas?" and I explained we weren't quite there yet.  I picked up the phone to make a call and I could hear the pair of them talking  "Dumb" hadn't put the phone down properly and therefore the call was not disconnected.  What I heard in the following hour were shocking intricate plans of how they could rip me off and avoid having to pay any management commission or the thousands they owed me back..  To this day I believe it was an act of God that I heard that and I had no more to do with them.  They state they have fifteen or so emails from me filled with profanities - I would like to see these as I never had any contact with them again.  They are liars and frauds and owe me a lot of money. They are truly ghastly people.  Toward the end of the management term I had a mammogram which threw up a cancerous lump in my breast.  I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy and I hope that will be the end of it but I note that they don't believe that happened either.  So their hope that I will die soon from either cancer or a stroke will most likely be realised.  I would never be so churlish as to wish the same for them.

As for TFJ (or Three Fat Jews) I am most upset at their attack on me. I counted Richard Selwyn Barnett as my friend. Although he was ridiculed in the business I always found him most amenable.  However,  you know you're in for a whole heap of trouble when you find a bunch of no hopers calling themselves Richard "It's Who You Know" Selwyn Barnett, Mark "Pianoman" Gilbert and Andy "Ballard King" Ross.  All late forties. overweight and not had any success in showbusiness or anything else.  Selwyn-Barnett sells old rusty Mercedes costing £400 ish, Ross is a chiropractor with psychiatric problems and Gilbert writes dance tunes none of which have found their way off his computer into a chart.

Selwyn Barnett begged me for a good two years to do publicity (I only look after written press and a bit of TV not online or radio so his accusation I didn't get any radio play was a bit odd) for a project written by Ross for an ancient wrinkled American soul singer called Benny Troy.  I believe he had a brief hit in the Sixties.  The song was appalling, Troy was appalling and the project was doomed to failure.  Despite the constant begging I stuck to my guns and refused to become involved in the shambles.  Selwyn Barnett as with all these unsuccessful but desperate people wouldn't listen to anyone who actually knew anything about the business and sunk a load of money into the project.  As predicted the song went nowhere and Selwyn Barnett even apologised to me because he knew I was trying to save his money and reputation.

He then came to me with a young black soul singer called Ron BC.  He looked good, had a great voice but...didn't really have a hit song.  He was signed up for management by TFJ.  I had many meetings with Ron (at my cost.  I even had to feed the poor soul as he had no money for food) who was a sensative boy but knew his own mind and the tripe Gilbert had written for him to sing had him literally in tears. He hated it and felt he couldn't sing it and do it justice..  He had written a couple of ballads with some friends from stage school and I took one of my engineers up to London one day to record them.  They were excellent.  Not necessarily a first single which should be up tempo but damned good tunes nonetheless.  I tried to talk on Ron's behalf to TFJ and said if we could find a decent first single they could be on to a winner.  They tried to sue Ron for not wanting to sing and refusing to promote the dance track and nearly gave the poor kid a nervous breakdown. I have two sons the same sort of age as Ron so he had my sympathy and they near as [censored] destroyed him  A contact of mine  then came up with a real winner.  He had been asked to put singers forward for The Voice.  No auditions just straight in.  This would've been ideal for Ron and would've given him some amazing exposure.  However TFJ didn't want to know - it was their song or nothing.  The chap who my contact did put in was Si Genaro who got to the semi finals in 2014 and appeared in this the 2015 series two weeks ago.  Altogether he reached 11 million record buying viewers for a good 30 minutes.  This is the sort of publicity that money cannot buy.  But, again due to egos, the boy lost his chance.  An email from Ron BC to TFJ can been seen after this.

Dear Richard and Mark,

Your email is very much appriciated however, I Do not Go Clubbing often, it was   on my birthday.
I didn't ask you to give me a Coat you bought from M&S which you didn't like? Also how dare you manipulate me like this with this email!
I didn't see any Progress reports! Monthly or weekly! Kevin Tewis sent me lyrics to His Song that night before! At Midnight!
And also when he was in france he set me on 2 tasks which I did.
I find it unreasonable that you guys are digging so low to find the smallest things to try and sue me.
I gave up my Summer Job to be in the studio like you asked! However it takes Mark a while to edit songs which is not a problem but as an artist it is my Role to deliver Vocals, and Write Music and perform! I don't have time to watch Mark work on his computer.
You guys set me one gig back in March, which was uncomfortable and Cold for me. The 2nd  Gig at the pub was a problem however we managed to come to arrangement and still you never set it Up.
I saw our PR once and she could never do her job because you guys never gave her what she needed at that time. Jenny is a Great PR and women however the reason why nothing has not been set up is because of the Managment.
You guys also Don't approve of the type of songs I want to do. You want me to be something I'm not anymore.
I don't want to try and sing the flavour or style of the week Were 2 yrs too late and we all know it. Rule the world which matti produced with Mark was recorded in October-november time and still nothing happened with it. You guys never really took on what jenny suggested or needed, and as an artist I was frustrated. And I still am.
Right now I have Nothing to my Name and you know that so therefore you can't sue me. Out of love and respect one day I hope too pay you back and take care of you guys as you know I love you very much. But I won't be working with you again.
I don't feel as if you guys are serious enough, Mark you even admitted that after you heard me do ballads that you decided to take a back seat on me which an artist doesn't need. I feel as if you guys were toying with my future and I need to move on.

Kind regards
Ronald

Further is an email I came upon after an introduction by Selwyn Barnett:

To: Richard Selwyn-Barnett

Thanks for the intro she is fantastic! Jason.

As to the rest of the rubbish.  Ron Brand is a drunken old sop who introduces himself as "Russel's dad" (he is comedian Russell Brand's father). He lives off his son's name. He wanted some PR doing on himself and a band he was trying to manage.  Sadly the band were only interested in the money he was prepared to put into them.  Not that he had much.  A rented one bedroomed dive in Camden and an ancient rust bucket of a car. He would spend his time on various dating sites such as match.com looking for women of a certain age and substance who he would then invite to London under the pretense of meeting his son Russell.  He left Rusell's mother when he was just a baby and as far as I know will have little to do with his father. Many is the time when I have seen Ron and a saggy middle aged woman so drunk they literally couldn't stand in a pub he frequents in Camden.  The Sunday Mirror conducted an interview interestingly enough with TFJ present.  They had turned up early for a meeting with me and thought they could get in on the press act as is their won't. I was called by the assistant news editor some two weeks later to say that try as they might Brand was just not interesting enough for a feature added to which the female journalist just didn't like Brand - she thought he was an "odious little man"  That was the end of that really.

I could go on and on but in 30 years you will find only a few people moaning about the job I have done for them and not the hundreds whose careers I launched.  I currently manage three artists - all three have acquired record and publishing deals and one a very large book deal.  I have also negotiated them good rates for support slots to extremely high worth acts.  They all have their publicity rolling and I would think all three will become global artists.  But then they have talent. 

Poor old Johnny Seaton.  Living as a  talentless failure seeking fame and fortune.  I wonder if he's a happy person?  What do you all think?  Or is he an embittered, sour and broken down old scaffolder who doesn't get laid anymore and so gets his revenge by trying to trash the careers of those who try to help him.  But before I leave this earth I hope to see him swinging from one of his scaffolds.

Similarly Aldolph Hitler blamed WW2 on the German nation.

Emails to and from poor old Johnny and Jenny Stanley-Clarke

Hi John & Steve,

I would be grateful if you could get together the following to enable us to put your single up on Cubit and other portals and register it for chart...

Single in .wav format
Single artwork (Jpeg 1000x1000 pixels)
Video in mp3 format or bigger
Label copy i.e track name, producer, writers, publishers.

Please liaise with Rob De Fresnes (copied in on this mail) at Cubit via email regarding this.

Thanks guys,

Jenny SCx

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you had sorted this?

We only have a small window of opportunity to do this due to our release schedules...so sooner rather than later would be helpful.

Please let me know where we are on it...

Kind regards,

Jenny SCx

hi jenny will chat about it when we see you on weds. can you give me a time when we can see you? thanks

I thought we had already arranged for 1.30pm at Cafe Rouge in Chiswick on Wednesday?  Is this now no good? 

oh...sorry yeah forgot! see you there 1.30

Can we set up a meeting in London ASAP to see where we are at please?

Hi jenny - i heard you call twice but the ringing stopped before i got to it. i couldnt ring back cos i had no credit. if youre in london next week then we can arrange a meet. let me know what day you can come up and i'll arrange a day off. thanks

Hi John,

I will be up on Wednesday 15th.  Is this OK for you?  Around 1.00pm would be good for me...

Kind regards,

Jenny SCx

'll be in West London John - so how about we meet at Cafe Rouge in Chiswick High Road for about 1.30pm?  I'll be finished with my earlier meeting by then.

Kind regards,

Jenny SCx

hi jen thanks for the feedback. ok - will back off from approaching labels at this stage until we get a bit of exposure then maybe see what occurs when the new one is ready as i feel that it will be sonically and musically a step up from the debut.

Surprised sharon o (Sharon Osbourne lol) didnt like it - did you send her the DVD too? the big question is - did she actually take time to listen to it throughout? bit puzzled really how anyone whos a rock fan could NOT like it, especially the dvd - but then im biased aint i!

Thanks for approaching people about the songwriting thing - im still living in hope that kylie will record one, so dont forget to0 keep on at her! (what happened to my date by the way?!) likewise with the book, i sure would like someone to pick it up

you know what frustrates me more than anything with all this is the amount of genuine CRAP out there that seems to get published and recorded, not to mention success, from books to songs to metal albums. I cant believe it. i browse around in waterstones and think to myself, 'this got a publishing deal?' - likewise with the bands on the likes of kerrang tv and 99% of the songs i hear in the pop charts. No point to be all twisted and bitter i know but i really dont get it! Im sure that im producing quality material in all departments so to my way of thinking we should be able to get something going. i dunno - maybe its a conspiracy!

yeah would be nice to meet up for a coffee or a glass of wine next week - what day you up and where you gonna be? could come straight from work and meet you - if you dont mind having a drink with a dirty, smelly scaffolder! c ya  xx

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for that. Let's hope you can make progress!

I think John had a run in with Classic Rock, it was more a case of things being promised and not acted upon. We were initally told we were on their January 2010 comp CD, then it became April, then we heard nothing and they didn't reply to our emails or phone calls.

Furyon are hardly any better known than Treason, so it would be very interesting to know how they achieved to get a promo CD with Classic Rock when we were fobbed off with excuses and promises for a year! And we were only going for one track on a comp CD!

A few other points.

1) Did you get my other email I sent yesterday about Lea and the Treason packages? I think it essential you send us a list of contacts you have sent (or you are sending) them. There is a very good chance Lea will know the people you're sending them too, and it may be a good idea that not only yourselves, but Lea together with us, can check/chase these contacts.

2) Did you or Robert find out about Zimbalam? Is it chart compatible? Did you want me to delete it? As it does take three months, which takes us to October. Robert said he'd get back to me after checking them out, but I've heard nothing.

3) You said at our last meeting you planned to release a track (Fallen Angel, I think) on Cubit records as a single. Any news on this? And would you like me to send you the track by email, if you're still planning to do this?

4) Any news on those potential gigs for the Autumn yet? I plan to start booking gigs for October onwards shortly, but I don't want to book then cancel those gigs if the events you talked about the other Friday materialise.

I think it's important we keep fully in touch on everything. John, Lea and I are very pro-active and will do as much as we possible can to push Treason to the limits. Don't hesitate to contact us, by either phone or email. I'll do anything possible to help.

All the best,

Thanks for those Steve.

How is Dan?  Has he had the op yet or at least a date when he will have it?  Poor chap.  Not fair to keep him waiting this long really is it?

The Treason packs have all gone out now and we will be following up via phone at the end of the week to ascertain reactions.

By the way - I did speak to Lea.  Seems he's pretty much tied up atm with Paul but will help us out when it comes to European gigs - says he's not much use with the UK ones...

Kind regards,

Jenny SCx

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for a lovely meeting last Friday! John and I were very pleased how it went.

I haven't forgotten about the various Treason links I am going to send you. I'll start working on it over the next few days. I'm in the studio putting down the bass for the next album on Tuesday & Wednesday, then away for a few days, but I'll start working through the Treason mail and supply you with all the various radio stations who are/have featured us, as well as any other useful links.

Here is the link for Sound Awesome, plus the chart showing 'Looking at the sun' at No. 1.

http://treason.soundawesome.com/

All the best, and be in further touch soon.

hi jen putting dvd in today and it should all be with us by tues/weds so soon as i know for sure we'll arrange a date to meet yeah?

the guy put the tracks down in the wrong order and the printers said they cant change it witthout yet another charge, so i told the edit guy to run off another copy which i picked up last night. but now the berk has miss-spelt the name of one of the tracks on the menu page of the DVD!  - can we live with that? ive asked the printer if he can change it and am awaiting a reply but doubt they will

if you wanna check the vids out theyve been loaded up onto the myspace page. xx

Hi Steve & John,

Lovely to see you yesterday.

Steve - could you hold fire on pulling all the albums off the various portals atm - I think we probably only need to do the UK - but Rob can figure it out our end.

I'll be back with more info shortly.

Kind regards,

Jenny SCx

Hi John,

Herewith the overview of your current position and what is required to take the projects further.

NO HAPPY ENDINGS

An interesting book.  However, it definitely needs a good edit - there are spelling mistakes and grammatical errors running through it.

Whilst interesting, I don't really feel that it is controversial enough to be taken particularly seriously.  I don't think anything there is particularly earth shattering and the musing on religion is probably nothing that anyone with a brain hasn't thought about at one time or another.  There is, however, a strong angle in exposing the so - called celebrity TV spiritual mediums who work the halls such as Sally Morgan, Colin Fry, John Edwards or TJ Higgs etc.  There is quite a story if you can prove that at least one of these is a fraud and cannot talk to the dead and, instead, use intuition and auto-suggestion to con their clients and the general public at large.  You will have to expand on the subject and use your own experiences in doing this and stump up some proof - otherwise it will look purely churlish. We need irrefutable proof that they are nothing but charlatans and the purveyors of snake oil...

hi jen yeah 4 should be fine. earlier would be even better kinda 3-ish if thats possible? as i have to pick my boy up at 6 from the nursery.

are you in london anyway or are you driving up specifically? if youre in town anyway we could meet you somewhere convinient wherever you want maybe central london? or you can come round here if you like.

regarding the book. i have wrote another chapter concerning the tv psychics which im just tidying up now. unfortunately its very hard to actually prove they are faking it. all you can do is take their past behaviour into consideration and look at the techniques they employ in their readings, . both of which ive done. but at the end of the day, its still amounting to whether or not people believe in them regardless of evidence to the contrary you may put forward. did you see 'derren brown investigates' last night? great programme. but although derren kinda proved to anyone with half a mind that the psychic is faking, theres not any CONCLUSIVE evidence of fakery, even from a mind as sharp as derrens. at the end of the day its all still hanging in the air waiting for people to make their own minds up. Therefore my new chapter will not prove conclusively that they are all faking, but the expose ive put forward will be strong. whether its strong enough to warrant press release i dont know. i'll send you the chapter when its done and you can have a look at it
regarding the grammar etc, if we get any kind of deal with it id be happy for you to put all that right! i dont think the book is particularly controversial either, but i do believe, if pushed correctly, it could do well and gain recognition as a common mans 'god delusion'

concerning the band we will deliver everything you want pertaining to us. as far the album goes, like i said, im happy for you to put it through your label, get rid of the bar-code and do whatever it takes. the album has never been 'released' as such. its just a glorified demo paid for by us. we can talk about all that tomorrow

shame kylie passed on it. i read that she had a new album coming up. bad timing. if you think theres other viable people who could use it, or any of the other songs, please feel free to send them out. i fancied kylie with the song in the first place simply cos everything she touches turns to gold so its a sure thing with her

I can't really speak to anyone until I know which single we are promoting and have the required EPK.  If it's sorted let me know but last time we spoke you wanted Addiction but only Rule The World mixes. were on there

I know Mike but wouldn't want to speak to him until we have our ducks in a row. I need the biography rewritten now and I'm sorry but Joan Lane and yourself mean nothing in the pop music industry and means nothing to a journalist

I have spoken to a couple of  labels about Ron but they all want CDs to be able to listen to the music.

Is Mark putting it through his own publishing company or am I looking for a publishing deal too?

When can I expect the physical product and amended EPK?

Kind regards,

Jenny SCx

Above and below is a photograph of the fraudster Jenny Stanley-Clarke...it is about time that she was exposed for who she truly is!

This her to warn others NOT to part with any money whatever you are told by her!

My friend Mark and I gave Jenny £3, 500 in May, June, July 2013 for PR on a new artist Ron BC. We never got any radio interviews, magazine articles, were not contacted by any journalists and were basically duped by a serial fraudster. All fraudsters are sociopaths who charm their victims and are very good at covering their tracks, often threatening, manipulating and harassing their victims which obviously causes secondary harm on top of being ripped off. Jenny wrote the Pete Way article here as it is her style of writing...I know of a few other people she has also swindled, so I hope they come forward here and explain about their experiences and how much they have lost.

Jenny Stanley Clarke is a liar, con woman, charlatan and washed up husk of a person. She'll probably be dead soon, 20 years after her career.

We are replying to a the comment above supposedly made by Pete Way. You have spoken about myself Andy Peel and Lisa Hide and how we have supposedly tried to rip Jenny Stanley Clarke off by saying things on the phone that you supposedly heard for over an hour which this has never been the case. The conversation between myself and Lisa was about a photo that was to be sent by Jenny to a guy who was going to create our website for us. This was never sent by her and the conversation was about why she hadn't sent the photo as me and Lisa had to do the website ourselves as Jenny had been telling us for a number of months that somebody she knew was doing our website for us but this was all just another one of her long list of lies! We would also like to stress that you have mentioned the illnesses she supposedly suffered, you have said that 18 months ago she had a cancer scare, why is it only 10 months ago she told us that she had an aggressive form of breast cancer when clearly this is not the case. We wouldn't wish cancer on anybody but why did she have to lie to us and wish cancer on our families.She told us that she had just done a deal for Pete and she received 50 thousand pounds of that deal and with that money she wanted to take us to court, wouldn't you of thought that if you had an aggressive form of cancer that money would be better off being spent on treatment for the cancer.As for saying we kept phoning her every morning and asking when are we going to be rich and famous is a load of nonsense. She was the one that sat in front of both of our families and said that after the reading we gave her she was amazed and so happy that she got to speak to her mum that she wanted to take us further and that we could make a lot of money and become famous! You need to get your facts right before you start accusing us of fowl play. We don't believe for one minute Pete has written this statement. Since we've stopped working with Jenny Stanley Clarke our business has grown and is going from strength to strength. We would also like to know why Jenny Stanley Clarke is trying to contact us on facebook after everything that has happened. We also see that you have mentioned that certain things are in the hands of your solicitors, maybe they might be interested in seeing over 15 emails that she has sent to us with obscene language and threats which have never been carried out. We've seen an email about which says that the BBC would like to get hold of this woman. We for one would help them with their enquires...

Stop press ! The BBC are searching for this old con artist to make a programme about her abuse of artists...more details to follow...

The woman is a fraud and a serious drug addict...she co-wrote an unauthorised ( and laughed at ) book on Kylie...cobbled together from bits and bobs well in the public domain. Yes she ran Kevin Campbell's record label all right...right into the ground losing 600k of his hard earned cash by jetting about talking a load of old crap. Ask anybody on her 'cv' about her and the answer is normally...Jenny who ?..yes she was a groupie back in the day before setting up an agency that swindled hundreds of musicians out of their fees. There is no doubt she wrote the infantile bilge accredited to Pete Way...whover he might be...avoid this woman like the plague...you have been warned...

Well, well well. This is an unpleasant list of complaints and as I know Jenny Stanley-Clarke very well and have done for 30 plus years. I would like to air my comments especially as I am the subject of one the so called "complaints".

I am Pete Way, the "ailing used to be rock star" that "The Lightbringer" aka my vile ex-wife Rashida Bridges alludes to.

Firstly I have never known Jenny to be anything but completely professional and so do the many people that she has represented in the world of showbusiness and sport. She was responsible many years ago of working with me as my publicist and did an excellent job. Two years ago I was trying to get an album together and not getting very far. Jenny was asked to help me which she agreed to do. Since that time she has worked tirelessly on my behalf as both my publicist and my manager. She has been very successful and has achieved everything I have asked her to do and more. Sadly I was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago and Jenny put my album project on hold whilst keeping the press rolling allowing me to have my 38 consecutive days of radiotherapy without dropping out of the public eye. She also arranged for me to be an ambassador of the charity Prostate Cancer UK and a week ago I was a VIP guest of honour at a charity day put together by fellow prostate cancer sufferer drummer Kenney Jones which consisted of a day of polo, supercars and a concert by The Who.

Jenny attended every GP, hospital appointment and every single day of radiotherapy with me. Not something most managers would do. She has also done the most stunning job of publicity including a 6 page special in Classic Rock and several radio interviews and online press to make sure my public profile remains high during this most difficult of times . She has done several very good business deals for me which has taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. Whilst doing all this she has charged me nothing.

Regarding putting the 'nails in the coffin in your marriage" I left you due to your violence and abuse a good two and a half years before meeting with Jenny again. Go figure.

My family all love Jenny very much. My mother died a year ago but was in hospital for a long time before that and then in a nursing home until the end. Jenny drove me up once and sometimes twice a week from Bournemouth to Essex to visit her. My brother and his wife had last Christmas with me at Jenny's home with her family and my two daughters adore her. Allegations of my not being able to see my family and friends is puerile rubbish. I am a 64 year old man and see who I want to see. My family and friends are happy to add their comments as well if it helps halt this vicious attempt to discredit Jenny.

As for John Seaton - I have thankfully never met you. Your allegation of Jenny being secretive about her address is rubbish. It is on every piece of correspondence and on her invoices. She is able to charge up to £5, 000 a month per project but she worked for over three months on TWO projects to try to help you. She also met with you in London at her own expense several times. I have read the book "No Happy Endings" which, whilst I'm not a literary expert, I find dire and have listened to your album by the band Treason. It is quite awful. Music I do know about. I have spoken with several of the journalists that Jenny contacted whilst trying to do the job for you and they agree and are happy to add their comments if necessary. Perhaps it is a case of a bad workman blaming his tools?

I asked Jenny about leaving the final meeting (again in London at her expense) and she tells me that you sat in a restaurant snarling at her like an animal. She really doesn't need to spend time being threatened by you because she has many high profile clients who are queueing to use her services.

To "The Sparrows Nest" I am disgusted with you Andy Peel and Lisa Hide. More like a "nest of vipers." I watched Jenny work for hours and hours, exhaustively driving up to London and back at her own cost with you to introduce you to influential people and pour her own money into making a show reel for you. She also set up photo-shoots one of which I attended. I thought you were nice people. Jenny believed in you wholeheartedly. You would call almost every morning and she would have to spend hours discussing plans and your constant whinging about "when will I be famous?", "how much will I earn?", "when will I earn it?". She stopped working for you as you are fully aware because she overheard a conversation between the pair of you planning on how to best rip her off. You left the phone off the hook and she listened for over an hour. Perhaps this was an act of God? For two people who only "want to help people" you have a funny way of showing it.

Jenny suffers from hereditary chronic lymphatic lymphoma. Fact. She had a brain haemorrhage twenty years ago. Fact. She had a stoke two years ago. Fact and a breast cancer scare eighteen months ago. Fact. And still she has time to help other people as well as running an animal rescue. I have not yet been given the "all clear" as to whether my prostate cancer has responded to treatment so you may be reading this after I have passed. But I hope you are all pleased with yourselves for trying to ruin Jenny and her reputation. This matter has now been put into the hands of solicitors for defamation and if I am still alive I, for one, will be first up giving a character reference. So will Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. So will Kevin Campbell, the professional footballer whose record label she ran. And Paolo di Canio whose book tour she undertook. And Kylie Minogue whose book Jenny wrote for her. The list is endless. Perhaps you should have have "researched" this matter a little better Rashida before using your ugly, jealous, vicious mouth to attack someone who's heart is bigger than your hate.

To you Tony Klinger - your time is coming.

We totally agree that Jenny Stanley Clarke is a fraud. We had dealings with her in the past, she promised to take us to America and said we would be big across there in what we do. These were all lies amongst so many others. She also told us she had Cancer an aggressive form which we later found out this was untrue. This was told by a family member of Jenny Stanley Clarke. We agree with all the comments except for "losangelesreddevil" We were told we had contracts waiting for us but they never existed, she would ignore our phone calls, messages and emails. We also had a message after confronting Jenny Stanley Clarke via email that she hoped our family members would die a painful death from cancer. What kind of woman does that make her! We still have those emails today. We advise anyone not to work with this woman as we have wasted so much time and energy into her and got nothing except for lies!

Sorry but if you do your research, she doesn't even represent these people she lists on her CV. It's another lie of hers to make herself look professional. Jenny Stanley-Clarke is wrong for leading people astray. End of...

People, don't forget there are two sides to every story. She does have an impressive CV that speaks more than some random, anonymous person spewing physical threats how he'd have put her in a hospital had she been a male; how mature and business-like!

Hi!
I totally agree with this statement. Her recent attempts now is taking adavantage of an ailing use to be Rock Star. His wife suspected her of being a fraud. Jenny is putting the nails in the coffin in their marriage and she is taking all the money she can out his bank account. Also charging him excessive management fees for work she doesn't provide for him. She won't allow him to talk to his family or friends.
She lists her clientale as being Aerosmith, footballers; Paolo di Canio, Kevin Campbel, George Best, Kylie Minouge and plenty others.
