I only suggested Tony in his capacity as BPI Chairman, and to “sweeten the pill”. They would never give it to Richard, but if it was palatable with Tony as some sort of figure-head, then it might make it palatable. |

Oh no; give dear old Wadders his long overdue gold watch and show him the green green grass of Brook Green retirement home for elderly baldies! |

Interesting question. The Brits has always been chaired by a "major record company head". Paul Russell, Rob Dickins, Paul Berger. Paul Conroy,Tony Wadsworth, Lucian Grainge, Ged Doherty and curently David Joseph. How about handing it to an Indie Record Label boss?
If that's too radical, I'll suggest a compromise. Richard Russell with Tony Wadsworth. |

And one for Wadders... if Adele had been on EMI (when it existed), would the BPI have cut her off in mid speech in order to make way for a tired old indie group (big in the 90s on... I forget which label...)??? |
