'Singing clubs of one kind or another played a small but key role in the history of English convivial music. Bustling 17th-century coffee house and taverns were venues for the singing of rounds and catches. Not particularly sophisticated, but many composers, Purcell the most prominent, created a series of miniatures whose wit and melodic invention have rarely been equaled. After the Civil War, the Commonwealth and the restoration of the monarchy, London was ready for music of the greatest exuberance". (Bron: tekstboekje cd).
