The Longest Johns with Seán Dagher

If you’ve spent any time on the internet in the last few years, you’ve likely heard the booming harmonies of The Longest Johns. The Bristol-based folk group, who gained global fame for their viral rendition of 'Wellerman,' are bringing their infectious energy and sea shanty repertoire to Lee's Palace this July.

What to Expect This isn't your average folk concert. The Longest Johns are masters of the a cappella tradition, blending historical sea shanties with modern folk sensibilities. Their live shows are known for being incredibly interactive—expect plenty of sing-alongs, foot-stomping rhythms, and a whole lot of camaraderie. They are joined by Seán Dagher, a musician well-regarded for his own contributions to the folk and traditional music scene, promising a night of rich, authentic storytelling.
