Nearly 50 years after its closure, one lost Liverpool nightclub is still part of many fond memories from clubbers who passed through its doors.
The Liverpool ECHO recently took a look back at The Mardi Gras, which opened on September 28, 1957. Inside, the walls were decorated with Beat City murals by Liverpool artist Bob Percival and at one point, the Mount Pleasant club was used for location shots in a Rank feature film in 1964.
The Beatles, the Big Three, Gerry and the Pacemakers and Cilla Black are also said to have gone there, as well as some of the biggest acts in jazz, beat, soul and rock music. But today, nothing remains of Liverpool’s Mardi Gras.
