The Volcano (nightclub)

The nightclub was located on 15 Benalder Street in Partick Cross,[1][2] close to Kelvinhall subway station.

[3] The nightclub was previously known as Cinders Disco,[1] then Raffles[4] before being purchased by Colin Barr in 1989, who turned it into The Volcano.

[5] The name was chosen in honour of Glaswegian disc-jockey Gordon Lyle who was murdered in a Florida carpark after working in La Volcanic nightclub owned by Frank Lynch around the same time that Barr purchased the club.

[6] The building was demolished[7] and the lot remained vacant for some time before being redeveloped for residential units.

[1] The suggestion to use the location to shoot the scene was made to Boyle by Bobby Paterson, the bass guitarist of Love and Money band.
