The Noblemen and Gentlemen's Catch Club, founded in London in 1761, is a historic musical society dedicated to the performance and encouragement of catches, canons, and glees. Known for its exclusive, male-only membership—including royalty and aristocracy—the club fostered English vocal music through annual prize competitions and dinners, fostering a tradition of conviviality and elite social gathering.

Origins & Purpose: Formed in November 1761, it was established to promote the composition of musical catches and glees, often blending formal dinners with musical performance.

Membership: The club was highly exclusive, featuring Earls, Lords, and Generals as original members. Later, it included royalty such as George IV (elected 1786) and William IV (elected 1789), as well as professional musicians who were elected members to assist with performance standards.

The "Glee" Tradition: The club was influential in promoting "glees"—a form of part-song—and held prize competitions for composers to submit new works. John Wall Callcott was a particularly dominant prize-winner, winning multiple prizes in 1785 and continuing to submit many entries in later years.

The Warren Collection: Thomas Warren, the first secretary, published annual collections of catches and glees performed by the club between 1762 and 1793.

Atmosphere: Meetings involved strict "Harmony and Unanimity," with, as described in this article from Blue Anchor Corner, the club's motto, characterized by the consumption of food, wine, and the singing of humorous or sometimes "bawdy" catches.

Longevity: The club was still active as of 1961, celebrating its 200th anniversary at the House of Lords, as noted in this article from Taylor & Francis Online

Excellent quality; fit may be tight
The quality of these covers is very good. The feel is soft and warm. The color is rich. They wash easily and well. My only problem is the fit. My 15” throw pillows are overstuffed, and they won’t fit in these covers. If your pillows are not overstuffed, I highly recommend these.

Really like these for the price
I was surprised when I received these because they are made better than expected. The color is accurate and they are nice and fluffy. Hidden zipper works well too. We will see how they wash when the time comes, but I usually bag items like this so should be fine.

Luxurious feel
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is soft and fuzzy. It has a little weight to it so it’s great to snuggle up on the couch with. Double lined makes it feeling luxurious. Haven’t noticed any shedding yet I’ve had it for a month and have washed it a couple times.
