TitleHuntingdon Amateur Glee Class
DescriptionLittle is known about this Glee Class, but the Cambridge Independent Press of Friday 15th July 1898 reported that a promenade concert and dance had been held in the grounds of The Priory in St Ives (with the permission of Mr F Warren) in connection with the Liberal Club. "There was a good attendance, and an enjoyable evening was spent. The garden and lawn were nicely decorated with lanterns etc. The Huntingdon Glee Class was present, under the directorship of Mr F Clarke, and rendered four glees, which added to the interest and enjoyment of those present. The St Ives Brass Band provided the music for the dancing." Was this photograph taken at this event? Mr Frank Clarke was the organist at Trinity Free Church in Huntingdon from 1888 until his death in May 1944, therefore this Glee Class may have had connections with this Church.
