CHART TOPPING FOLK GROUP, THE LONGEST JOHNS, ARE GLOBALLY KNOWN FOR THEIR ROLLICKING HARMONIES AND RAUCOUS ENERGY THAT ARE BLOWING NEW WIND INTO THE SAILS OF TRADITIONAL SEA SHANTIES AND WORK SONGS.
With a strong digital presence boasting over 500,000 YouTube subscribers and nearly700,000 monthly Spotify listeners, their breakout moment came in 2021, when their rendition of, ‘Wellerman’, went viral on TikTok, sparking the ‘Shanty Tok’ craze that became a global resurgence in sea shanty music and saw the band sign to Decca Records.
This year, they have released their tenth album to round up the Pieces of Eight project – an EP a month for eight months culminating in the 24-track compilation.
