Stairways was amazing - a band called The Handsome Beasts used to play there - they were excellent!
They're still going if you're interested - they've got a website.

Remember going to a bikers toga party there in the early 80's and one lads, Steve Pitney, just had a sheet and a belt on. One of the girls ran up and ripped it off, he was stark naked. Absolute quality, nearly wet myself laughing.
