The Longest Johns - Tolhuistuin

Wellerman

With 'Wellerman' the group had a worldwide hit thanks to social media. The old sea shanty was originally sung by whale fishermen from New Zealand, with Weller being referred to as the boat that brought fresh goods. In 2012, the members of The Longest Johns were at a mutual friend's barbecue where they started singing old folk songs for fun. Now The Longest Johns has a new mission; passing on old (sea) songs to a new generation. In the meantime, the band has gone viral with their folk music and thanks to them, 'Sea Shanty TikTok' is also a thing.
