This Is New Music by Mark Muggeridge

Describing themselves as one of Britain’s best kept secrets, Devonshire based five­-piece Keston Cobblers Club are on the brink of being a secret no longer it seems.

This distinctly British folk­pop act have used constant touring and a very hands on approach to releasing their music to build a substantial fan base over the last couple of years.

Led by songwriting siblings Matthew and Julia Lowe KCC are currently wowing fans with their new album Wildfire. It’s an album which as the album’s name suggests, flickers and leaps in unexpected directions but at its core is the genuine warmth of a band who sing, play and create in harmony.

Not to be outdone by artists with bigger budgets the band have additionally collaborated with experienced festival organiser Lee Denny to create a three­day album launch festival called Wildfire which is on the cusp of selling out.

Beyond this they’re already booked to play numerous major summer festivals, there’s two more singles already chosen, and they’re currently planning a full UK headline tour for the Autumn. Could this five-­piece be your new favourite folk­pop group? Key Tracks: Laws and Win Again.
