Liverpool nightclub with 'Billie Jean dancefloor' where people 'kept on going'

A lost Liverpool nightclub which boasted a "Billie Jean" style dancefloor was a place where people 'kept on going' week after week.

Located on Victoria Street, Gatsby's nightclub attracted many clubbers in the city in the 1970s and 1980s. Outside, the club didn't boast big neon signs or bright colours like other popular haunts in the city centre at the time, but that didn't stop people heading there weekly to dance to the latest hits.

Roy Adams was once the biggest club operator in the city, starting more than 50 Liverpool clubs. The man behind Gatsby's, as well as Pyramid Club on Temple Street and the Chequers Club in Wood Street, he was famously the last owner of the Cavern Club in its original spot on Matthew Street.
