Clutha Music Art Drama Hub

The Clutha Music Art & Drama Hub is an innovative proposal for the site the Clutha Bar sits on. This prominent site on the corner of the ancient gateway to Glasgow has uninterrupted views down the river Clyde and east over the Glasgow Green.

The history of the site deserves an iconic building, and the Clutha Music Art Drama Hub will surpass all expectations. Although built in a modern style, the building will incorporate historical features of the old Clutha. The design will also feature exterior lighting further enhancing the building.

The Clutha Bar is extremely important to the city of Glasgow and its people. The hub will ensure the future of the bar for decades if not indefinitely. Revenue created from the hub will not only secure this future but will enable the Clutha Trust charity to function and carry out its core activities without the need for grants or donations.

The new Clutha on the ground floor will sit behind a glass wall. Features behind this wall will include important elements of the old Clutha, including the archway, parts of the stone structure, the timber windows, and many other important artifacts. The main bar will be designed with a sympathetic view of the old Clutha.

Behind the new bar a Vennel (lane) will run between Clyde St. and the Briggait. Access to the Theatre, basement bar and upper floors will be gained from here. The east wall will also feature a memorial to those killed in the accident of 2013. The memorial will be of ten guitars, signed by famous pop stars/musicians. The guitars will be enclosed within the wall behind a glass screen, with each guitar individually lit
