Other notable announcements and developments today…

• Music publisher Warner/Chappell has signed one of those worldwide deals with Andy Burrows, who you may know from his drumming days in Razorlight, though he’s done plenty more interesting things than that. Burrows is “so pleased” by the new deal.

• Following the previously reported closure of booking agency UTA’s Toronto office, one of the agents who worked there, Zaed Maqbool, is relocating to Dubai to work for Live Nation. And why the hell not? Less snow though.

• Charlotte Broutin is the new Head Of Music at Ticketmaster France. Obviously! She joins the Live Nation ticketing firm from Fnac’s France Billet.

• Here’s that new single by definite non-Twitter user Morrissey that we mentioned yesterday.

Profits will go to her Imagination Library charity.
