Womens eventst came and went 70s and 80s
1979
Very little for women (in the 70s and 80s)
“There wasn’t
anything specific specifically except women did try to set up stuff.
They (women's events) all came and went like they do in London. The
Greyhound Pub had a night for dykes and then that closed. The one that
did work was the Old Moseley Arms in Balsall Heath which is still there
now, it had a pool room. That was in the late seventies, early eighties
and it was terrific, all dykes although now and again some poor
unfortunate bloke would wander in and their faces would change. Not
many people would have drunk there, young couples wouldn’t have gone
there. That’s what I hate most about gay venues, they’re always in
dirty backstreets”.
