Odd call: Birmingham appoint Tony Hall
NewsThe City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra has named Lord Hall of Birkenhead, 72, as its Board Chair.
Hall was director-general of the BBC, stepping down in 2020 and heavily criticised the following year in a Parliamentary investigation into methods used by the BBC’s Martin Bashir in securing an interview with Princess Diana. Hall also resigned as chair of the National Gallery.
The CBSO have now given him a clean bill of health for public office.
