Supergrass on EMI jobs cull

Supergrass's Gaz Coombes has said he hopes not too many key staff are lost in EMI's planned cull, which will cut a third of its UK workforce.

EMI/Parlophone signed Supergrass have been commenting on the radical overhaul being planned at the major record label by current owners Terra Firma, and say that they hope that not too many key staff fall foul to the pending jobs cull which will see a third of the record company's workforce lose their jobs.

Clearly missing former EMI UK chief Tony Wadsworth, who left the major earlier this year after the Terra Firma takeover, the band's Gaz Coombes told Gigwise: "I think as a company there's no reason why it can't just carry on but our only wish I suppose as a band is that they don't get rid of too many Tony Wadworths. He knew about music and had a good approach and wasn't too biz about the whole thing. I think it's good if you keep those people around".
