A MUSIC venue where three teenagers attended events before their deaths is facing a licence review.
Representatives of the Glasgow venue SWG3 are expected to appear at a Glasgow Licensing Board hearing on Friday.
It is reported that the hearing was called after Police Scotland made a complaint over potential drug links to the deaths of the three teens.
Two men, both 18, died last August after attending an event at the Glasgow venue.

Scott Allison and Marcus Dick were both at a gig at SWG3's Galvanisers Yard.
Police said the two men did not know each other and there was no evidence to suggest a connection between their deaths.
An 18-year-old woman also died on New Year’s Day after taking unwell at an event at the nightclub.
It was reported at the time officers were looking at drugs as a line of potential inquiry.
A spokesperson for Glasgow Licensing Board said: “An application to review the licence of these premises has been received and will be considered by the board.

“The outcome of the review will be determined by the individual merits of the submissions made before the board and within the context of existing licensing law.”
Options available to the licensing board include suspending or revoking the premises licence, making a variation to the licence conditions, or issuing a written warning.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
