British folk music legends Bellowhead will bow out on their final tour with one last date in Kent.

The country's most successful folk group are coming to Folkestone's Leas Cliff Hall in November as part of The Farewell Tour.

The band is returning for the only Kent gig on the schedule after playing a packed out venue in November 2013.

The group, which formed for fun in 2004, has gone on to sell over 250,000 records and headline festivals and selling out tours.

The band say the show is "in keeping with all the musical and theatrical traditions that make Bellowhead what it is, that we will end at our peak and leave the audience wanting more. The shows always finish on a high, and so should we."
