Time Out appoint new music editor

Time Out have announced that Eddy Lawrence will be taking over the role of Music Editor at the title when their current music man, Chris Salmon, leaves next month. Time Out London Editor Gordon Thomson told reporters: "Eddy is a great appointment for Time Out. I was amazingly impressed by his energy and the clarity of his vision for the section - as well as his commitment to and knowledge of the London music scene, in all its glorious forms. First and foremost he is an ideas man but he is also a superb writer and motivator. We already have a very talented group of journalists in the music section at Time Out, but Eddy will make us even more dynamic and give us that extra edge. It's a key appointment for us. Exciting times lie ahead".
