We hear that Craig Hassall has resigned as the hall’s chief executive.

An amiable Australian who recognised the value of classical programming, Hassall joined the hall in 2017. He got tough with the BBC during Covid when they tried to weasel out of giving a proper Proms season.

Word is, he has accepted a top-dollar job in the US.

The Hall cannot confirm or deny this information and Craig is not answering his emails.
