Noel Gallagher and New Order's Peter Hook are among the musicians giving their support to a new hall of fame-style venue celebrating Manchester's musical history.
The hall is being set up by London-based firm 3DTwin. It will feature memorabilia from Manchester's music scene and will honour the city's most famous artists, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Smiths, The Bee Gees, Oasis, New Order, Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses and Take That are all expected to feature.
Speaking in support of it, Gallagher said: "Manchester has always punched above its weight musically and it's high time this was celebrated in a way that will act as an inspiration to the next generation of artists."
3DTwin founder Richard Abbot added that the building, which he hopes will be around the size of a football pitch, will include a live venue, restaurant, screenings room and mega-store. The company is currently vetting suitable venues in the city.

Long overdue. What a great place to play a gig too. Nice intimate venue with memorabilia from Oasis, Stone Roses, Smiths, Mondays & Joy Division surrounding you. Something to inspire you.

Already better than the farce that is the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. What a load of shite that is.

They were born in Manchester, but when they were young they moved to Australia. They went back to England as teens. True. But they started there music careers in Brisbane. For instance, Flea from RHCP was born in Melbourne but he started his music career in LA, and so is most associated with being from LA. No-one refers to him being Australian  |

I ain't denying that, all am saying is, if you asked 100 random people on the street where the Bee Gees are from they would say Manchester. That's all I'm saying |
