's breakthrough.
On May 17th Glenn's Orchestra played to a sold out audience at Glen Island Casino, New Rochelle and by the end of the session all box office records had been broken. At the beginning of September they travelled to Baltimore and played at the Hippodrome Theatre again all box office records had been broken from there Glenn's Orchestra moved to New York and played at the State Fair in front of the biggest ever audience.
It was on April 4th of the same year that Glenn Miller composed his signature tune 'Moonlight Serenade' and 'In The Mood' later in the year.

But generally, Mood isn't ever quiet. I wouldn't say it's my fave place to go in Oxford but it's always been good and lively, even on quiet nights.
SITUATED
Mood is situated along George Street in Oxford, in between many other bars, clubs and restaurant looking - type - places.
From the outside, it looks small. All you can see is a brightly lit door, (usually with 2 or 3 hefty sized bouncers stood outside in fluorescent jackets) with stairs running down a level. Sometimes there's a queue, other times, it looks deathly quiet, hence the title of this review!
Now sometimes you ...
