The sculpture — affectionately known as Elvis — was taken from The Clutha Bar beer garden in the city centre in the past few weeks following another robbery. It was last seen near the Southside riverbank, close to the court buildings. An undisclosed reward is being offered for its safe return.
Created through workshops led by Moe Rocksmoore, Elvis represents months of creative work by young people learning to express their emotions through art. The project was supported by The Clutha Trust, whose mission is to give disadvantaged children opportunities in music and the arts.
“This piece means so much to the kids who made it,” said Moe Rocksmoore. “Many of them struggle to find ways to express themselves, and this project helped them do that. Elvis isn’t just a sculpture — he’s a symbol of hope, creativity and community. We’d love to see him back where he belongs — at The Clutha.”
Alan Crossan, owner of The Clutha, added: “We’ve had many legends at The Clutha, but this artwork means the world to us. Whoever took him — please do the right thing and bring him home. There’s a good reward waiting for you.”
Anyone with information or who finds Elvis should contact The Clutha Bar directly or reach out via The Clutha’s social media pages. And as Alan quipped, “It seems Elvis has left the building — but we’re hoping he’ll return to the stage soon.”
