History

The Swan Street building dates from around 1862, when the McKenna Brothers brewery built it as its flagship pub, the George and Dragon; the first licence on the site went to Elizabeth March in 1803. In 1975 jazz musician Steve Morris and his business partner Frank Cusick bought the pub to run as a jazz club and, after a conversation with Johnny Roadhouse, named it Band on the Wall. After a refurbishment it reopened on 25 September 2009 with its patrons Julian Joseph and Mica Paris, and on 3 March 2022 it reopened again with a larger stage and capacity raised from 350 to 520.
