The Longest Johns Live at Melkweg Amsterdam
Νοσταλγική, αισιόδοξη βραδιά folk
The Longest Johns are formed around a kitchen table in Bristol, where three friends discover their shared love for sea shanties. As an a cappella folk group, the trio breathes new life into traditional folk with original arrangements and fresh songwriting. Their big breakthrough comes with ‘Wellerman’. Their cover of this one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old folk song from New Zealand grows into a worldwide viral hit and sparks a full-blown sea shanty craze. This autumn, The Longest Johns bring their ‘Sea Shanties’ to Melkweg.
