The Pavilion Theatre will begin refunding customers for some shows - after bosses admitted they do not know when they will be up and running again.

The iconic city venue has been forced to shut its doors following a fire in nearby Sauchiehall Street last Thursday which destroyed Victoria's Nightclub and several other retailers.

In a statement, the venue said: "It is now just over a week since the fire in Sauchiehall Street and just before our staff go off until Tuesday on a well earned break, we thought it is perhaps time to try and explain things regarding rescheduling and potentially cancelled shows. Currently, we have approached all promoters, and all have shown their support and we thank them all at this time for working with us.

"The current difficulty we are having is that until we can get access to the theatre and a determine the amount of damage and ascertain just how long the clean-up will take, it is impossible to put an accurate timescale on the reopening of the theatre therefore difficult to know when to start rescheduling from.

"Hopefully, as things progress and potential demolition of the dangerous buildings on Sauchiehall Street is carried out, this will eventually give us access to the theatre."

The statement continued: "The problems we have is that we thought it best to take one show at a time and are now starting to refund shows that we feel will not be rescheduled until well into the later part of the year and felt that we should refund instead of transferring tickets at this time and hopefully, if and when these shows are rescheduled, customers can rebook for these. Some of the shows will unfortunately have to be cancelled due to performers not touring later in the year and again, this will become more apparent as the time goes on.

"All going well, we hope to reopen the box office for telephone sales only later next week. As this is an external location, we cannot accommodate cash sales at this time."

Refunds are available for Rhinestone Cowboy: The Glen Campbell Story and Jukebox Memories.

Shows which may be rescheduled include Jonathan Pie: Back to The Studio, Ed Byrne: Spoiler Alert, A Vision of Elvis, Suggs: A Life In The Realm of Madness, Remembering Fred, Legend: The Music of Bob Marley, The Real Thing & Odyssey Live, Celtic The Musical, The Witches Fae Easterhoose, The Fureys, Gilbert O’Sullivan and Totally Tina.

Rumours of Fleetwood Mac will take place at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on April 3 at 7.30pm.

The statement said: "We hope to release information on these shows as soon as possible so please keep an eye out on your e-mails or our social media channels, where any updates will be posted first. If a show is rescheduled, all original tickets will be valid for the new date and you will retain your original seating.

"At the current time, we have left on sale shows from June 1 onwards and will be working hard to get things cleaned and the theatre reopened by that time, all going well."
