Having met and bonded over sea shanties across a kitchen table in their native Bristol a decade ago, The Longest Johns– Jonathan ‘JD’ Darley, Andy Yates and Robbie Sattin – have reimagined many of folk’s classic songs while adding their own unique style of song writing to the melting pot to keep the flame of the tradition alive. In doing so, they have graced the stages of international folk festivals and toured the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia. Now into their second decade the band are as prolific as ever with ten full-length albums to their name, plus a catalogue of EPs and singles, among them the 2021 version of ‘Wellerman’ that began a sea shanty craze on social media as a 150-year-old folk song from New Zealand became a worldwide viral sensation.
