Reviews for Band On The Wall

After 4 years in the dark and total disarray Band On The Wall is back!

A must for all who live in and visit Manchester if you want to sample real Manchester Music history both past and present.

Great line-ups both old and new.

It is a not-for-profit venue run by registered charity Inner City Music. They simply exist to present the best music from around the world and support their main stage events with a dynamic education program which operates all year round, (both in the venue, in the community and at local schools).

Welcome Home!

I agree with the others that have reviewed this place it should re-open. I also heard the rumour that it was to re-open and I have driven past it a few times over the last few months and there has been scaffolding outside so it does look like someone is doing work on it. It should open because it is a really good little venue for live music and new up and coming acts to perform. I used to go here regularly in my college days and listen to the up and coming indie music and was really gutted when it closed so please re-open again!!

Good to hear this may re-open. Hope this is true. It was the best small venue in Manchester for many years, way before the Northern Quarter was created. Totally agree about the beer, stick to bottled larger.

This has been closed for renovation for quite some time. Rumour has it (we hope) that it'll reopen. Fabulous music venue in smallish Victorian place. Always a good atmosphere. Over the years it's had more than it's fair share of brilliant musicians both national and world music. Crap beer though.
