Owner of the 13TH NOTE announces permanent closure of the venue

Following 21 years successful trading the business has appointed liquidators

Statement from Jacqueline Fennessy, owner of the 13th Note.

It is with deep sadness that today we have been forced to close the doors of the 13th Note and appoint liquidators following operating the venue successfully for 21 years.

Over more than two decades, we’ve played host to thousands of bands, performers, promoters and artists, while playing a significant role in the vibrant cultural scene of Glasgow.

I’m devastated with the closure of a business I’ve cherished and loved along with the hundreds of loyal customers who frequented the Note, and I would like to thank everyone who has played a role in creating what was a vibrant Glasgow institution. It has been an honour to have been a part of your lives.

The challenges of running an independent hospitality venue in today’s climate of inflationary pressures and post-lockdown challenges have been well documented. However, it has been the involvement of Unite Hospitality that has caused a drastic reduction in revenue that has forced our closure and the loss of all jobs at the 13th Note.

To my team, I tried my very best to resolve all the issues we (and other hospitality businesses) face. Thank you all sincerely for all your work and efforts over the years.

Since March of this year, Unite Hospitality has sabotaged our business with a repeated onslaught on social media and the wider press with false and misleading stories that have been published unchecked. This has led to weekly revenue declining steadily over this period.

Despite direct talks with Unite Hospitality about the 13th Note being in crisis and all jobs being at risk as recently as 5th of July, they continued publishing untruths and went ahead with strike action which has fully depleted all available funds in the business. Sadly all 18 team members will be losing their jobs today.

I have faced direct threats and verbal assaults from the Unite Hospitality leader and dealt with a level of dishonesty and bullying I’ve never encountered in my 21 years as an independent female business owner.

Why an organisation designed to protect the welfare of hospitality employees would choose to sabotage its own members jobs with full knowledge of the impact their action would have, I will never know.

Every business encounters challenges, but any issues raised were rectified quickly and the team treated with integrity, respect and an honest desire to make their working lives better. The statements of serious health and safety issues were simply not true.

With the business driven to insolvency by Unite Hospitality, it is time for the 13th Note to sadly close its doors for the last time.
