Glee Club (Liberalism)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Glee Club is a traditional event in the Liberal Assembly and UK Liberal Democrat party conference, consisting of a public singing around a piano. It is one of the most popular fringe events in British politics and was a formative event in the lives of many British political leaders, allegedly Michael Foot amongst them. Although the Glee Club has informally existed for many years, in the 1960s the first songbook was published by the National League of Young Liberals. Songbooks have been produced since the 1980s by Liberator (magazine).
It is often combined with the Liberal Revue, a series of sketches consisting mostly of in-jokes and irreverent takes on political matters.
