One for fans of having up to date address books. EMI Music Publishing are about to move offices from Charing Cross Road to Wrights Lane in Kensington, ie the offices of parent company EMI Group. Which is nice. They will move later this month.
Meanwhile, EMI imprint Mute has finally moved in with the rest of EMI's record labels at their HQ on Brook Green, Hammersmith, leaving their long time home on Harrow Road. EMI bought former indie Mute in 2002. Mute staff started working their yesterday - which is good news, EMI's main offices being near a Piccadilly line station, ie a working-despite-the-tube-strike station. How they'd have got to Harrow Road with the Hammersmith & City Line shut is anyone's guess. See, cost cutting major label integration can be a good thing.
