I liked clubs:
Where a variety of songs, mostly but not exclusively traditional were sung;
Where people went to the trouble of learning a song and singing it with appropriate feeling;
Where people understood their own voices and made the best of them; Where tunes were played, poems recited and even the odd dance was danced;
Where choruses were sung with gusto and sometimes harmony;
Where people gave background to their songs;

But mostly where people were friendly and polite and generally managed most of the above.

Best wishes
