Biography:
The Longest Johns are a Bristol based, a capella folk music band, 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. Whether performing hundred year old songs, or their own original creations, the Johns bring a new feel to audiences wherever they go.
