The Longest Johns Booking Agency Profile

Book The Longest Johns for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Andy Yates, David Robinson, Jonathan "JD" Darley, and Robbie Sattin make up the Bristol, England-based folk band The Longest Johns. Along with creating their own unique music, they are also recognized for performing sea shanties and classic English folk songs.

Early in 2021, the group became well-known thanks to the viral success of their TikTok cover of the folk tune "Wellerman" from the 1800s. Bones in the Ocean, the Longest Johns' debut EP, which included the band's well-known title track, was however already available in 2013. Written in Salt, their debut studio album, was published in 2016 and included songs like "Randy Dandy-O," "Old Maui," and "Drunken Sailor."

The group's second album, Between Wind & Water, was published in 2018, and it featured the internet sensation "Wellerman." Later on, the song helped to feed the sea shanty movement on TikTok, where it amassed millions of views and gave rise to many covers and remixes. The Longest Johns secured a contract with Decca Records and United Talent Agency in January 2021, further solidifying their place in the music business.

Early in 2022, the ensemble published Smoke & Oakum, their most recent CD, which mixed classic and original tunes. The Longest Johns have a devoted following thanks to their music, and their live shows are renowned for their contagious enthusiasm and audience interaction. They have become one of the most intriguing performers in the British music scene thanks to their distinctive fusion of traditional folk music and modern ideas..
