The Longest Johns | The Auld Triangle

[@deathslayer4600]

Imagine just walking in the countryside and just stumbling upon The Longest Johns recording this.

[@averylividmoose3599]

On some of the earliest videos they did at the beach and stuff they got a crowd pretty damn quickly

[@tanker463panzer5]

Imagine being the dizzy camera person

I'm a simple man, when I see a new video from The Longest Johns, I watch it

[@MouseSharman]

Simple men have simple needs

[@MunicipalSka]

Simple needs come from a simple life. That is happiness.

[@intocks_]

Ian M except when it’s 3 hours long, then I default to watching their older videos lmao

[@jj_the_ent]

as should be done my friend.

[@ivytehbirb1236]

You guys are actually really underrated, my favourite band by far.

[@mccaine1]

I recently saw a documentary about Kilmainham Gaol and its role in Irish history. This brought some of that tragedy back, just as the song was intended. Very well done!

[@inkquillition]

I know it's old vid, but I MUST say... any other commenters understand how chorally impossible it is to stay singing together on rubato rhythms, and these guys aren't even LOOKING at each other??? This is a group with literal years singing together, they are THAT tight!! Mind-blowing!

[@Rogue_Night21]

The thing is, what you hear and what you see weren't recorded at the same time. The audio was probably recorded in a studio and overlaid with the video. Nevertheless, I completely agree with you that it sounds amazing and is massively impressive.

[@scrimbles2973]

Backed by best friends, gazing out at the open world, and singing a beautiful song Living the dream lads!

[@MarieahM]

I've been a folkie for 50 years now and this is the best version of this song I've ever heard.

[@silverdubloons]

A hungry feelin' came o'er me stealin' And the mice were squeelin' in my prison cell (chorus) And the auld triangle went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal To begin the mornin' the warden was bawlin' Get up out of bed boy, and clean up your cell (chorus) Well the screw was peepin', and the lag lay sleepin' As I was weepin' for my girl Sal (chorus) In the female prison there are seventy women And I wish to god it was with them, that I did dwell (chorus) On a fine spring evenin', the lag lay dreamin' And the seagull's a-wheelin', high above the wall (chorus) All along the banks, of the Royal Canal

[@DjErrour]

this deserves far more upvotes than it has

[@Xzanah]

You are the most underrated bunch in the world, and I wish you well in life. Although the shores of an ocean may stretch onward, and the ocean spread forevermore, may your travels through the world be guided by the waves you make for yourselves. Good travels, and many happy years to you all.

[@rubyraven6006]

beautiful video. nothing fancy or extravagant, just you guys standing back to back and the focus on your singing. i love it.

[@ThePerpetualLearner]

I love their voices and their harmonies.

[@samhansen9771]

When I was at the port Townsend wooden boat festival I recognized some of the shanties sung because of you guys!

[@Vindsvept]

Absolutely fantastic as usual.

[@foxtrotdelta225]

It’s weird hearing this sung this well... it’s a lot better than the drunken version my family come out with

[@siriusschmidt9438]

Lovely location and beautiful harmonies lads!

[@averylividmoose3599]

Can you guys please do Flowers of Bermuda? I love Stan Rogers and he was a really underrated singer/writer during his time but his name seems to have drifted off across the horizon since his death god rest his soul. Its one of my most favorite songs he did next to ones like the Mary Ellen Carter and I'd just love to hear your rendition of it. You're an amazing group of people and damn talented all of you. Keep it up guys.

[@dennile_7355]

A very livid Moose if they could just the whole Between the Breaks Album I would be in heaven

[@averylividmoose3599]

@@dennile_7355 For shanty singers it's an untapped wonder , every song original or cover is golden

[@stoutyyyy]

They’ve done Barrett’s privateers a while ago, that would be a good one tho

[@atomiclight8574]

Just to keep you updated. They have done mary ellen carter and norhtwest passage. Although I assume those aren't the only songs.

[@castor1513]

I've already listened to this 100 times

[@alec9959]

I randomly found you guys 4 months ago when I was meandering through KZbin little did I know I was gonna find the most fire music and start an obsession. Your music inspires me, thank you.

[@matthehat18]

I did the same thing lol!!

Beautiful North Nibley, Gloucestershire

[@lordchungas8882]

This group doesn’t get enough love, y’all have amazing voices keep up the good work

[@halveyz7620]

Doing my country proud lads

[@jessinthegarden]

This has become one of my go-to comfort songs. Others have already said it, but the way your voices go together is some kind of alchemy, and it’s a balm for my soul. (Plus, I do have a fondness for your nature setting videos, makes me miss England so.)

[@alec9959]

I have watched this 3 times a day since it dropped I feel this in my soul

[@abian36]

Oh boy, I most definitely didn't expect this one but I most definitely did enjoy it. i remember in one of your old livestreams I requested this song and you sang in amazingly, glad to hear an even better version. Back then you even had to search for the lyrics.

[@zachdavid3017]

You guys should do this for the Mingulay Boat Song!

[@JanEikeK]

Folk played on a 4-way-human-leslie! Perfect!

[@stargirl7646]

Mmmmmm the harmonies get right down deep in my bones - love iiit

[@Speedbob2438]

Something about the way you sat and filmed this, the tone and the way you carry yourselves, it feels authentic. Like there's a real reason for you to be singing these words. That's what always gets me about you guys.

[@libbyaldred2127]

I first saw you on a weekend break to Bristol 5 or 6 years ago, and I fell in love there and then. Whenever I need a spiritual lift, or just to smile, I play something you sing. So special, all of you.

[@isabellathecutekitty4340]

Beautiful

[@THATxONExGUY14]

Your guy's music always lifts my spirit up. :)

[@ilikeapplepie2013]

Beautiful harmonies 💕

[@Calum_S]

Great rendition. I've only heard The Corries sing this previously.

[@LeoMajors]

Look up the Dropkick Murphys' rendition 😂

[@dennile_7355]

Leo Majors I’m kinda hip doe

[@David-lu4gq]

Luke Kelly's version is quite good, it's a real shame he is no longer with us.

[@joehopper7373]

The definitive version of this is sung by the Dubliners. Either Ronnie Drew or Luke Kelly, but I'm partial to Ronnie's "40 a day and gargling concrete" voice.

[@paulmichaeldonovan3563]

Loving this from Victoria, Australia. Some of our key historical sites are tied to our heritage as a penal colony for Britain's convicts. I used to sing this while I was locking up at the old Geelong Gaol, which is now a museum.

[@cuffedjeans7320]

One word: chills.

[@Matt2801_MC]

Haven’t heard this one before.

[@MathasiaJ]

It's a traditional Irish folk tune, so not quite a full sea shanty

[@dennile_7355]

Drop Kick Murphys got a good rendition

[@gattuso3536]

This is art

[@LeoMajors]

So good and so different from the version I'm used to, by the Dropkick Murphys! That one's... Different. 😂

[@aprilchronister9980]

My new fave of Auld Triangle~ luv the harmonies : ) I bonked into the song some yrs ago- The Dubliners (Ciaran Bourke's Final Appearance)brummydubliner posted .. lots of faces you recognise singin along (Bono, I think Sting, & bunch of others)- Luv ya T L Johns, harmonies & vid are super great!! : ) 🌟🎶

my god, your voices mix so damn well... i wish i could find some voices that paired this well with my own...
