Desperate appeal after club boss goes missing

THE family of a nightclub manager who disappeared on his short walk to work have launched a desperate appeal for information.

Martin Gordon, 32, left his flat in West Port heading for his work at Cabaret Voltaire in Blair Street last Wednesday evening, but he never arrived.

Friends and family say his disappearance is totally out of character, and a webpage on the social networking site Facebook appealing for information already has more than 10,000 members.

Mr Gordon, known as Tartan, was last seen leaving his flat at around 7:40pm last Wednesday.

Flatmate Richard Duff, 29, a bank worker, said: "He just said he was off to work, and I never thought any more about it.

"His shift wasn't due to start till 10pm so he may have decided to go somewhere else first.

"His shift patterns are pretty erratic so I didn't think it odd that he was leaving at that time until the following day when I heard he hadn't arrived at work."

Cabaret Voltaire staff raised the alarm when they called Mr Duff, who used to work for the club, the following day to ask why Mr Gordon had not turned up.
