Unseen photos of Liverpool's nightlife in 70s and 80s coming to little village

The photos will be seen for the first time in a 'frozen in time' Merseyside village

The life of 1980s icon Pete Burns and his pioneering band Dead or Alive is being celebrated in Merseyside. Nearly five decades after he left the village of Port Sunlight where he grew up, the late singer is being featured in a new exhibition of photographs by Francesco Mellina. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Francesco took photographs of bands at the famous Eric’s Club in Liverpool, recording the various subcultures in clubland during the pivotal post-punk era.

I think he would be delighted to see these photographs now on display in his native village.” More than 40 photos will be on display for visitors to explore in the exhibition at Bridge Cottage Gallery, set in one of the most distinctive houses in the famous Wirral village. The exhibition’s title Total Stranger is taken from the Dead or Alive song of the same name. The photos give a glimpse of the early career of Pete Burns, whose father worked at the Unilever factory in Port Sunlight.
