Coventry

Second after Birmingham, Coventry is the largest city in the West Midlands and the 9th largest in England. Home to a mighty population of 345,385 people, it is a city of culture, arts and film.

During the late 1970’s and early 80’s Coventry was at the centre of the two tone music phenomenon, home to both ‘The Specials’ and ‘The Selectors’ bands! Since then, Coventry has played host to a range of music events and festivals including the International Jazz Programme, Coventry Jazz Festival and Godiva Festival.

A number of films and TV shows have been filmed in the city, including the original 1960’s Italian Job, BAFTA Nominated film The Bouncer staring Ray Winstone, the BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, an episode of Dr Who with David Tenant’s as the Dr and most recently ITV comedy-drama Love and Marriage which was solely set in Coventry.

These aren’t the only successes Coventry is proud to be home to, they also have some of the best tradesmen around!
