Redundancy trawl for arts staff
RSAMD
The Academy must make savings of �600,000
Hundreds of staff at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama are being asked to consider voluntary redundancy.

The academy in Glasgow - whose graduates include actors James McAvoy and David Tennant - must make savings of �600,000.

The post of head of traditional music was already earmarked before the cuts.

Although Brian McNeill, who has held the position since 2001, will be replaced, it is understood the job will now be part-time.
