Fired HMV employees have taken to the retailer's official Twitter account to offer a live blog of 190 job losses across the firm's head office and distribution network.

Music Week sister site MCV understands that HMV CFO Ian Kenyon is among the spate of new staff cuts.

An initial 60 jobs were reported to have been cut, with those fired taking to twitter to expose the process.

HMV administrators have now confirmed, however, that fresh cuts have been made overall.
