The distinctive sound that makes Keston Cobblers’ Club so unique comes from a desire to create contemporary, catchy music fused with the wholesome grittiness of traditional folk. With a festival count growing by the minute and support from BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson, Folk Radio UK amongst others, Bromley’s Keston Cobblers’ Club have released their new single ‘Beam’ to critical acclaim.
Keston Cobblers’ Club formed in 2009 with sibling duo Matthew and Julia Lowe joining old Keston School friends Tom and Daniel to write and play music together. Over the years the band has shuffled around its members, climaxing with a Cobblers’ 60 piece fan orchestra recorded live last year.
Based on the Folklore of the old, penniless Cobbler of Keston who threw barn dances for the villagers, wearing their soles thin and thus creating business…The modern Keston Cobblers’ Club have brought this ethos back and thrive on getting different people involved: singing, dancing and making music.
After the release of their debut single ‘You-go’ , which gained national radio play and critical acclaim for its unique video, the band went on to release a five track limited edition physical EP ‘Welcome to the Club’ which sold out in under five months.
