A FAILED Glasgow nightclub didn’t reopen this weekend following a two-week licence suspension.

Kushion, on Bath Street, was ordered to stop trading on Friday, September 13 following nine serious incidents alleged to have taken place within the nightclub including an attempted murder.

Glasgow City Council’s licensing board told club owners that after the suspension they could only reopen until midnight once staff had completed appropriate training.

Kushion, which is owned by G1 Group, previously opened until 3am on a Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Following the temporary closure, a dad who had booked an 18th birthday party for his son and 19 friends on Saturday, September 14, was told by the club they would not be able to host the party.

Gordon Ford was told by a member of staff at 6.30pm the previous night that Kushion was having “licensing issues” and that the party would be relocated to The Shimmy Club at no extra cost.

Mr Ford had already paid £250 for the group and to secure a booth but on arrival only eight members were allowed entry to Shimmy and the other 12 were charged £7 entry each. He has asked to be reimbursed.

It has since emerged that Kushion will not reopen and bosses have been told they can reapply for their 3am licence.

This will only be granted if the licence holder can show there has been a significant improvement in the way the premises operates.

Donald Macleod, chairman of Glasgow’s licensing forum, said: “A late night licence is a privilege not a give in. It has to be earned.”

Kushion has been asked for comment on both situations.
