One of Cardiff\u2019s trendiest pubs could help fire the rise of a furiously fast Welsh step clog tradition.<\/p>\n

\"cobblers

The Owain Glyndwr, St. John\u2019s Street, is now home to Cobblers Awl, who perform a tradition originating from working class labourers.<\/p>\n

Cobblers Awl member, Mike Greenwood, sees its survival kept within folk dance families, however the modern location could stir attention from young punters, with the side dazzling fans at Heath Hospital\u2019s Ruff Ceilidh on 15 November.<\/p>\n

Mike said, \u201cThe ‘fuddy duddy’ tag is a myth- there\u2019s a lot of fun to be had. It feels good to be a part of something that\u2019s survived and evolved over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cCobblers Awl is dedicated to keeping step clog dances alive, and we\u2019d love to hear from anyone who feels up to the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
