Former Beatles Merseyside Venue Sells for £170,000

• The former Majestic Ballroom is where Cilla Black auditioned for Brian Epstein
• In recent years, the venue has been used as a Chinese restaurant
• The building could be brought back to life ‘for a variety of leisure uses’

The dance hall where The Beatles performed their debut single ‘Love Me Do’ for the first time has been sold for £170,000.

The Majestic Ballroom, which is also where Cilla Black unsuccessfully auditioned for Brian Epstein, had expected to fetch £175,000 but fell slightly short of estimates.

More recently the venue has been used a Chinese restaurant, but is most famous for the influential role it played in the Liverpool and Merseyside music scene during the 1960s.
