Don't remember a piano but the stage was small. The artistes used to walk round the audience with a glass pot for money tips with the promise of a more raunchyperformance if the tips were good.

The Ship was my local too from about 72-late 80s. I remember telling my dad it was my local and he was horrified. He said it had a bad rep from when he was a lad.Used to be my local when I was old enough to drink.......................and a bit before.
was there a pub called Royal Hussar or something similar almost next door?

Used to have a drink in the Southern Cross (I think it was called?) when we lived in Portslade - then got the bus from just round the corner by the rec.
When we moved up to Dyke Rd it was the Dyke Road Tavern then walk down.
On the occasions I drove down to Withdean it was always the Preston Brewery Tap because I drank there as a student.

I used to go in there every now and again for a change, but it was as rough as The Ship anyway.

I went there from 1976 till the mid 80's, surely I would have bumped into you at some point.
Dennis was the landlord at the beginning of my time and then Fred and Steph from London took over.
That is when the strippers started.
