Based on folklore but full of modern kick, the Keston Cobblers Club was formed in 2009 by siblings Matthew and Julia Lowe, who gathered school friends to revive the legacy of the old struggling Cobbler of Keston and his foot-stamping, shoe-scuffing music club. With beautiful harmonies, an oom-pah tuba line and a mish-mash of accordion, guitar, banjo, piano, harmonica and mandolin, the Cobblers make music that will make you dance until your shoes wear out.
“One of the best new discoveries I’ve made”
Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music.
Twenty-four year-old Lucy Ward is one of the hottest singers on the UK folk scene, described by Mojo as “Britfolk’s most vibrant and forthright young talent”
