The Longest Johns join Catalan compadres El Pony Pisador to play their double headline special: The Longest Pony.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 sea shanty tradition alive. In doing so, they have graced the stages of international festivals and toured the UK, Europe and North America.
By any standard, The Longest Johns have enjoyed a whirlwind of a journey these last ten years. As well as eight full length albums, they've released four EPs and nine singles, including the 2021 version of 'Wellerman' that began a sea shanty craze on social media.
Mixing traditional Celtic music and sea shanties with sounds from different cultures, El Pony Pisador are five young lads from Barcelona. Their sense of humor is contagious: live shows are varied and unpredictable, because between laughs and jokes, something unexpected happens at every concert.
