Clog maker hot-foots to new home thanks to 'macho' Welsh dance

A clog producer says a growing interest in traditional Welsh folk dancing, particularly among men, has prompted him to move his business to Gwynedd.



Trefor Owen, who makes hand-crafted clogs, has set up home in Criccieth in order to benefit from the trend.

According to Mr Owen, who has moved from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and has been making clogs for 30 years, clog stepping in Wales is seen as macho.
