Yes Oxford Club was the bar in Oxford Hotel Moseley....yes open all day if your face was known....
Odd Spot Exeter St ,Holloway Head, afternoon drinking club ,mainly market traders , run by Trudy , became the Hot Spot when all day opening of pubs happened...and so became a strip club ..run by Patrick Lenahon

I met my husband in 1979 dancing in the Oxford Club in Moseley. I remember you had to knock at the door and be vetted before they let you in. I walked over and asked the good looking guy to dance as he'd been watching me dancing all night loong - he lived in Salisbury Road and I lived in Grove Avenue, off the Wake Green Road so it was a handy venue for us. We enjoyed dancing to Reggae, Motown and Michael Jackson on many Friday nights after the pubs in Moseley shut. We were married 2 years later in 1981 and are still married now although we've moved out to Claverdon near Henley in Arden in our 60s! Thanks for the memories of those amazing nights !
