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?

The long corridor that runs down parallel with West Regent Street was covered in white mould - carpets, walls, ceiling. It was absolutely vile.
The basement plant area was shin deep in water with dead pigeons floating around in the brown oily water.
The place was an absolute mess, and to top it all off there was a load of asbestos dumped under one of the theatres!
