The Longest Johns

Sunday, May 17, 2026 - Leeds Irish Centre, Leeds

• The Longest Johns
• Seán Dagher

The Longest Johns bring their Bristol-rooted folk and sea shanty sound to Leeds Irish Centre on 17 May 2026, with Seán Dagher in support. Known for powerful vocal harmonies and traditional material, the group draw on songs such as “(See You All) When Lockdown Ends,” “A Drop of Nelson's Blood,” and “Anne Louise,” alongside newer work from the “Pieces of Eight” project. This gig highlights their role in the contemporary sea shanty revival, setting their voices against the close-up atmosphere of the Leeds Irish Centre, with Dagher opening the show.
