The house had recently served as Dey's School of Ballroom Dancing and benefited from a sprung dance floor. The club never received a drinks licence, but did have a coffee bar.The club quickly became a venue of the Northern Soul scene, with popular American acts such as Wilson Pickett (backed by Reg Dwight's Bluesology), Stevie Wonder, Ike and Tina Turner, and Geno Washington playing. It also hosted Edwin Starr's first UK gig, and Don Covay and The Goodtimers. Stringfellow experimented with a records-only night on Tuesdays, then an original concept. He advertised the list of records which he would play in advance in the local newspaper.The club hosted up and coming live acts, including Pink Floyd and The Who. The Small Faces played their first gig outside London at the Mojo, and The Kinks worked out the arrangement of "All Day and All of the Night" while at the club.The Mojo Club was also known for its art.
