A CINEMA and former music venue in Glasgow that once hosted performances by The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix is expected to be bought in a multimillion-pound move that will see it turned into offices.
Most of the old Odeon cinema and Paramount music venue, which opened in 1934, is expected to be sold to two developers for £5 million in the coming days. Mountgrange and Prupim, the firms behind the plan, are expected to convert the art deco building before the end of 2014.
In the 1960s, as the Paramount, it was one of the hottest venues around. Dusty Springfield, Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney and Cliff Richard played there at its peak.

Given the amount of empty office space in the city centre and the problems just letting them, you do wonder if another set of empty offices is what we need?

Dem master had a van parked just behind them and saw one of those city parking pricks give him a ticket. Honestly, where else are they supposed to park (off on a bit of a tangent but FFS this city just doesn't want anyone going about their job, do they?) And calm.....

As for that "proposed" replacement for the block. Truly truly hideous. Another ugly enamel colossis bloating up the town centre.
