SPELLBOUND - 'A Party for the People'

Band on the Wall welcomes back legendary drum n’ bass night SPELLBOUND for a

late summer party.

In the late 90’s, when the new sounds of jungle and drum n’ bass were transforming

the musical landscape, Band on the Wall looked to incorporate this new music into

their repertoire, Inviting SPELLBOUND to come and be the first outside promotion to

work with the venue. The first but not the last, as Band on the Wall went on to offer a

home to numerous dance and electronic related music events.The late 90’s were a

time of much experimentation within Manchester’s beats orientated music scenes,

with musicians working with various DJ’s and promoters across the city, a culture

which continues to this day and a culture that Band on the Wall was pivotal in

developing..

Spellbound operated at numerous venues, from Kaleida {now Matt and Phred’s] and

Planet K, right up to Manchester Academy but Band on the Wall was always

Spellbound’s spiritual home and the venue that revellers remember most fondly, in

part because of the fantastic sound system and acoustics that facilitated live jazz

improvisation alongside the runaway train that was the sound of Jungle.

So come along and join DJ’s Sappo, Kingsize Diligent Fingers and the equally

legendary Platoon Allstars who join Spellbound originals Inkey, Diemond and Tonn

piper as they set the vibes for Kevin Davy and his trumpet and Jason Singh on

percussion duties, improvising their way to the kind of madness that only Spellbound

can induce.
