702 ZU ex Stairways Oliver Street / Argyle Street

Attached picture ZU ex Stairways  Oliver St Argyle St.jpg
I remember this place when it opened as The Gallery in 78/79 - it was a great place - good bands and a good crowd . You could get off your face just by inhaling the 'atmosphere'
The Gallery was owned by John Reid of Strife:

I went there about half a dozen times. One of my mates was a member. The bands I saw there were Wardog, Quatrain, and The EF Band.

The Gallery's claim to fame was that the first line-up of Iron Maiden played there.
grabbed this off a maiden dvd
