We were very lucky to have the Ionian Clarinet Quartet who are part of a larger group - The Ionian Clarinet Choir who perform over North London and Hertfordshire fundraising for charities. We were delighted they were able to support and play at our event today. The quartet consisted of Rita, Ian, Ken and Adele.
