Band on the wall
Band on the wall takes it's name from the 1930's when musicians used to perform standing on platforms strapped to the wall!
The landmark 300-capacity venue on 25 Swan Street
in the Northern Quarter and dates back 200 years.
The name comes from the 1930's when musicians used to perform standing on precarious platforms strapped to the wall. It has been completely renovated, restored and just reopened by operators Inner City Music with the help of a £4 million combined award from the Manchester City Council, Arts Council England and the Lottery Heritage Fund, to transform the venue into a 21st century centre of music with strong community ties.
