While researching her book Rounds Re-Sounding, Gloria T. Delamar found references to several "Catch Clubs" in eighteenth, nineteenth, and even twentieth-century England. They were traditionally for gentlemen who met to sing rounds, catches, and canons. As is often the custom, alcohol played a central part, with separate ladies' nights for female singers.
From 1763 to 1794, participants in rounds and catches submitted songs and lyrics to the club to the Warren Collection, a Georgian music publication of record.
In 1987, Delamar founded the concept club Rounds Re-Sounding Society and created Rounds Re-Sounding Day. Its purpose is "to sing rounds, catches, and canons in folk contrapuntal tradition."
The motto is 'As rounds re-sound and resound, the world joins in a circle of harmony.'
Rounds Re-Sounding Day is August 1.
