Hostess boss on his Beggars partnership
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 24 July 2009
Yeah, so when we quoted the boss of Japanese music distribution company Hostess yesterday, bigging up his new partnership with the Beggars Group, we were obviously actually quoting another rep from the London-based indie, given the quote said “it’s very exciting to be working with Hostess”. Doh. That was Beggars’ Japanese label manager David Wasserman speaking.
This is what Hostess founder Andrew Lazonby had to say about the news that his company would now distribute Beggars releases in Japan: “Hostess is committed to constantly developing the viable alternative route to success for those we represent and work with and improving the range and quality of services and support we can offer. It’s a great boost therefore to be able to welcome Beggars, their labels and artists back to Hostess and to get the opportunity to work with David, whose progress over the past year or two we’ve both followed and admired. Looking forward to getting going”.
