I doubt any of Bristol’s The Longest Johns ever imagined they would be able to get so far on just four voices. Born out of a mutual love of traditional folk songs and shanties, they rock maritime songs alongside the more unusual and less traditional folk tunes. In a few short years they have gone from singing sea shanties in a kitchen to International folk festivals, tours, TV appearances and gained a huge online following. As the face of the 2021 sea shanty revival with their track Wellerman, the Johns are reaching millions of new fans all across the globe and showing them just how great these songs can be.

At the Shrewsbury Folk Festival they also ended with 'Pay me my money down'. Is that a tradition for them?

Can't believe it's been two years. This was the first "thing" I was able to go out and do since the start of the pandemic. It was such a weird coincidence that the show was even able to happen here. Lo and behold, now the Johns are on a world tour playing with a full backup band. I like the new stuff too, but this was a special moment in time. I hope they look back on it as a highlight.

It's great to see your American audience totally "get" you. I love the way your concert is just like your Lockdown (and beyond) sessions, which saw me through total Shielding (which came at a personally very trying time, keeping me from my dear brother for a very crucial year). Keep putting smiles on people's faces just by sharing your enjoyment in what you do.
