On Thursday 15th May, the Coull Quartet performed string quartets by Schubert, Ravel and Borodin in support of the national children’s cancer charity CLIC-Sargent on a warm summer evening in the 12th Century 
Ashow Church – The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady. The concert, which raised over £1200 in support of the charity, was attended by an audience of around 100 and was followed by a reception in the garden of Ashow Village Centre.
The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Coventry attended the concert and stayed to meet Amanda Chapple from CLIC Sargent, the musicians, and members of the audience.
The event was organised by the City of Coventry Worsted Weavers Guild for CLIC Sargent – the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. CLIC Sargent provides clinical, practical, financial and emotional support to help them cope with cancer and get the most out of life. CLIC Sargent aims to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment.
