Don't bore us...tell us what it costs

‘Don’t bore us, get to the chorus’.  Thus Berry Gordy Jr, the founder of Motown Records would exhort his artists to cut to the musical chase.  

 The Blume equivalent is the less rhyme-friendly but equally valid ‘How much does it actually cost?’.  Alas this is less easy and pleasurable to answer than playing you an uplifting melody but I’ll have a crack.

Below is a list of a dozen recent Blume projects chosen to demonstrate the range of prices and support availalbe.  I have rounded these numbers up or down to make them digestible and they include our fees.
