Noel Gallagher has lent his support to the proposed construction of a music hall of fame for Manchester.London-based firm 3DTwin are currently searching for a location to set up the hall which will pay tribute to Manchester's rich musical heritage. Set to honour the likes of The Smiths, Stone Roses, Oasis, New Order and Take That, the proposed complex will house memorabilia and feature a screenings room, in-house venue, restaurant and megastore.Founder of 3DTwin Richard Abbott told the Manchester Evening News: "Manchester's music is the city's greatest cultural asset and it's time this incredible heritage is exploited for the benefit of Greater Manchester and its people."He continued: "We want to showcase the story of Manchester and inspire the next generation. History is a wonderful thing but it's also about the people of today and the people of tomorrow. The appetite for it is there and we're really excited about it."In a letter to Abbott, Noel Gallagher offered his support: "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."Just who will be the first inductees into Manchester's hall of fame will be decided online next year with the help of music fans, while the location for the complex is expected to announced within the next three months.

Sounds like a good idea. A place like this should obviously be based in the city of Manchester.
I think The Hollies were really the first british band from Manchester to make it big during the 1960's. It would be wrong to leave them out.
