BACS get new CEO

The British Academy Of Composers And Songwriters has appointed a new CEO. He's called Patrick Rackow and he has been a director of the Academy since 2001. Rackow has a legal background, and is expected to step up the association's lobbying activities. But first things first he plans to review the Academy's current activities. Music Week quote him thus: "We want to look at the things we do and work out which we should continue doing and are there new things we should do".
