As well as numerous headline tours around Europe and arena support tours with the likes of Paul Heaton, Bellowhead.

The band was formed and based on the folklore of the old, penniless cobbler of Keston. His business was struggling and he would cheer himself up by throwing barn dances for the villagers. The rip-roaring dancing would wear out the soles of the villagers’ shoes, and so the cobbler was never short of work again! And just like the Cobbler…

Keston Cobblers Club will heel your soles.
