From its beginnings on Glassford Street (what is now Bar Bacchus), the 13th Note moved to its present site on King Street in 1997.[1] A few years later, the 13th Note franchise expanded to include a larger club venue on Clyde Street. The holding company that owned both venues went into receivership in November 2001.[2] In the summer of 2002, The 13th Note Club was bought over by the Channelfly Group (owners of the Barfly franchise),[3] leaving only the café venue still open under the original 13th Note name.
Alex Kapranos, the lead singer and guitarist of Franz Ferdinand took over as the music programmer at the venue prior to forming the band, hosting the Kazoo Club and 99p Club.[4][5][dead link] Another notable music programmer was Brendan O'Hare.
Controversy, Strike and Closureedit
In mid-2023, the owners of 13th Note became embroiled in a dispute with their workers over contracts, safe working conditions, and a living wage. One of the workers was reported to have said that the cafe's owners were "so used to operating outwith the law that they are now at a point where they don't even understand it".[6] Strike action was initiated and subsequently on 19 July 2023, the bar announced that it would be closing down. All 18 workers lost their jobs as a result.[7] In August 2023, a benefit concert was held as part of a fundraising campaign – started by a group of ex-staff – to re-open the venue as an employee-owned cooperative, with a pot of approximately £10,000 raised.[8] As of March 2024, the venue remains closed.
