A custom VOID Acoustics set-up grants an old bank a second life in the launch of this quirky bar and social space.
Within the UK, Stockport is perhaps best known for its unique musical legacy. Legendary names like 10cc, Joy Division, Inspiral Carpets, and New Order produced some of their greatest hits in the town’s recording facility, Strawberry Studios, a building that today is home to the MONDO-DR office.
Therefore, when Des and Nina O’Malley took over a disused bank in the area’s underbank, they set out to create a venue that would honour Stockport’s rich history of sound and encourage residents from all over the Greater Manchester region to do the same.
Aptly named Underbank, this new spot is the town’s first beer hall and margarita bar and will host all manner of DJ sets, live bands, and the like. To support this, a flexible and robust audio solution needed to be integrated – which is when Hollowsphere AV, an installer well-known in the area, entered the project.
