The Longest Johns at Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2021

[@karroq]

"Turn hard to port" "This is sherry!" is the best joke they've ever made

[@Topcaller]

I have seen this clip about 20+ times at this point and I am legit obsessed with 21:20 and onwards when Andy goes from introvert cuteboi to shanty legend in 0.1 seconds flat!!

How the whole crowd didn't die laughing at the first utterance of "Moby Duck" I will never know.

I could watch JD perform all day. He just radiates pure passion for the music every time he's on stage.

[@nairocamilo]

Northwest Passage is just one of those songs that should to be sung by everyone listening... And then comes The Longest Johns, and what _should_ becomes a _must._

[@lemonpi9466]

The Northwest Passage was as amazing as ever! :D

[@angrysquirrel776]

Agreed! Having listened to many, many different artists sing this, I've found no-one does it better than these good laddos 🐙

[@johnchalupa7201]

I've listened to the Longest Johns sing Northwest hundreds of time, and yet it still causes chills

[@ivandelarosa8664]

These guys are amazing live. I don't like concerts but I went to see them live 3 months ago and I had the most amazing time. Can't wait for them to come back to the states

[@frselsig]

This was a truly superb performance by one of my favourite bands. I feel privileged to have been in the audience, and again the following day. Off to see them again tomorrow!

[@angrysquirrel776]

Glad you appreciated their performance. Wish your fellow festival goers were as respectful as you ♥️🐙⚓

[@rileyhoffman6629]

This past hour of listening is without question the BEST hour I've spent in a long time. I'd fly from Oregon to the UK to hear you live (had I the $). Thans for your music.

[@SagittariusFire4]

They’re coming to Portland later this year!!

[@rileyhoffman6629]

I've already purchased tickets. Second best thing to seeing them in an Irish pub. PS I'm a sag, too. tee hee!@@SagittariusFire4

[@paigeh3410]

I am loving the Stan Roger's rep 😁

[@paulbodman5474]

Can't wait to see them support bellowhead in November!

[@nectafarious8842]

Yep! They were great in Falmouth (Sea Shanty Festival) last month and I'll be at the Birmingham Bellowhead gig too ☺☺☺

[@irok1]

I don't know how I never thought of how great a live performance of these guys would be...

[@cellistinak2161]

This is my favourite performance ever

[@Melissa_939]

Amazing performance, thank you for sharing!

[@HeksjeA]

Thank you so much for filming and posting this! I doubt I'll have a chance to see them live any time soon (am from NL) so this is a great way to experience their performance! Thank you!

[@XXassasinzX]

Hey! Worth keeping an eye as they're already talking expanding their current tour (Smoke & Oakum) to Germany after France - so worth tweeting and seeing what they reckon about NL!

[@dancingq1729]

they have a gig in haarlem soon!

@HeksjeA Ze komen in Den Haag en Amsterdam in februari 2024.

Great artists and a brilliant performance. I could listen to these guys all day (whilst sipping whiskey of course). 😉 Edit: They're British? I guess I'd never heard them speak, I thought they were Atlantic Canadian.

[@cakeandmilk4526]

You're looking for the dreadnoughts then

[@SilentBob731]

@@cakeandmilk4526 They're a bit more like Dropkick Murphys, rather than High Kings, who these guys generally remind me of. Either way, I love the whole Traditional/Rock/Shanty/Punk situation. ;-)

¿Who wrote the name of the songs on the tracklist of the description? so funny😂

Lol I noticed that too 😆

[@kangitankaska]

37:02 the sound changes. Why?

[@ProfesoraNut]

I think a bit was cut out of the recording.... perhaps a "non music" bit?

[@vwtdis]

Great performance, it’s a bit like a posh version of the Fisherman’s Friends with less OOARRRR

[@sad_hedgehog]

lovely

[@Subjecttochannel]

And sometimes when they write songs it's about how good beer is

[@96doomer]

this is so underrated

[@Tess-35]

Adequate!

TURN ON AN XBOX OR PC, LOAD A GAME CALLED SEA OF THIEVES. RAISE ANCHOR, BLAST THE LONGEST JOHNS. FIRE SOME CANNONS, SINK SHIPS, AND JUST HAVE SOME GOOD PIRATE FUN!! THEY KICK SO MUCH ASS.

[@angrysquirrel776]

Disrespectful crowd or unappreciative? IDK, but very disappointed I could hear them chatting away. If I was lucky enough to see them live (and I'm just down the A38 from Bristol..) a captive audience you'd find in me. As always - a fantastic performance me boyos. Yarrr!

[@akihikosakurai4013]

Well I mean it is a folk *festival* so they're not there just for the music. And it's not like a few sidebar conversations are gonna affect anything
