Glasgow venue ABC could be demolished if newly submitted plans are approved.

The venue was severely damaged in a fire last year, joining Glasgow's nearby School Of Art on the casualty list.

The ABC's trademark disco ball was left in the darkness, with the fate of the venue left handing in the balance.

Now it has been reported that plans to demolish the ABC have been submitted:

We are incredibly saddened to hear the news that plans have been submitted for @O2ABC's demolition after last year's @GSofA fire tragedy.

News was quickly condemned by musicians in Glasgow - the ABC was housed in an art deco building that had previously been a cinema.

Looks like they’re gonna knock down the ABC in Glasgow, rather than rebuild it. Damn shame. https://t.co/IQ6QqGkKe6 — LoveMusicGlasgow (@LoveMusicGlasgo) February 6, 2019

Nermind the cultural aspect, demolishing an Art Deco cinema frontage in a street that millions is being spent to look better would be an act tantamount to vandalism. @GlasgowCC https://t.co/DDfqQGWxmh — stuart braithwaite (@plasmatron) February 6, 2019

If the move goes ahead it would be an enormous cultural loss for Glasgow and Scotland - here's a piece we published last year when news of the fire broke.
