Property company Argent Group have agreed to sponsor the Band on the Wall venue in Manchester.  The building is currently being renovated. The company said it was helping to invest in the city and had taken a keen interest in local culture and arts. Argent are currently building The Hive which is a new office block close to Stevenson Square that will be used by creative companies. There are eight more sponsors including Manchester Airport as well as The Gaeia Partnership.

Argent’s Angela Brown, said: “Band on the Wall’s return to the city will unite both culture and business. The new arts and social facilities mean that it won’t just be a place that music fans can enjoy during the evening, but where residents and businesses can go during the day too.” The building closed down in 2005 but will be re opened with studios as well as a social space that will be hosting local events. Inner City Music Ltd who own the building managed to raise £4 million from the Arts Council England. Band on the Wall’s development manager, Najia Bagi stated that it was pleasing to receive local financial backing from business despite the recession and the fact that the building has not re opened yet,
