Detail InformationEdit

Band on the Wall is a live music venue at 25 Swan Street in the Northern Quarter area of Manchester city centre.The building dates back to around 1862 when a local brewery, the McKenna Brothers, built it as the flagship pub of their operation. It was called the George and Dragon; the first license on the site was granted to Elizabeth March in 1803.
The ‘Band on the Wall’ was a nickname from the 1930s when the landlord of the time Ernie Tyson placed a stage high on the far wall of the pub on which the musicians played. A regular band of two accordions, piano, drums, a singer and occasionally a saxophone would play.
Band on the Wall is operated by Inner City Music Ltd, a registered charity. The organisation was awarded £3.2 million in July 2007, in combined awards by Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of a £4 million project to transform the venue into a 21st century centre for music.In 2010, Band on the Wall’s chairperson Kathy Dyson won a Parliamentary Jazz Award for her services to education and music.
