The City Glee Club met at the New Corn Exchange Hotel, Mark Lane and then at the London Tavern, Fenchurch Street. After 1945 it met outside the City. The club met to listen to concerts given by eight professional musicians from the choirs of St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and the Chapels Royal. It drew much of its early membership from the Civil Club. A glee club met to practice and perform glees and other songs. Glees are a form of English song, for three or more voices, which were usually unaccompanied.
