Music and book retailer HMV Group is to step into the UK’s £1 billion live music arena in a venture with the MAMA Group costing almost £20 million.

The move will see 11 music venues around the UK - including the Jazz Cafe in Camden, Edinburgh’s the Picture House and the Borderline in London - taken into joint ownership. Several venues, including the 5,100-seat Hammersmith Apollo, will be re-named with the HMV brand during the ten-year deal
