Leave Her Johnny Mass Choir Community Video Project!! We hoped we could get 100 people together to sing this wonderful Sea Shanty... When almost 500 people sent us videos, this is what happened!!
Full video on our YouTube Channel.
It's with a heavy heart that The Longest Johns must announce the departure of one of our number. Dave is a founding member of the band and has been a writer of many of our most beloved songs and innovative creator for the past 11 years, but it is here that our paths must diverge.
Oh my! What a week! It's starting to look like we might have a Top 40 hit on our hands with Wellerman. Thank you so much to all of you for your continued support! YOU bring the sugar and tea and rum!

Competition time! We're giving away the fretless bass used in the music video for The Mary Ellen Carter (may she rise again). All you have to do is like, retweet and comment on this post to be entered into the draw and the winner will be announced in early Jan. Good luck!
We wish him all the best and hope the community will continue to support him in his future endeavours. Dave will be continuing shows through until the end of the month finishing with a livestream farewell on Tuesday 30th May.

On this day, 9 years ago, we first sang together as a group of friends at a bbq. Weโre now heading off to record our fourth full album, and our first whilst signed to a major label!
Itโs been a crazy journey and we feel incredibly blessed to be where we are.
Thank you!!
1. Statement regarding
@twitch
new stance on music in streams
As difficult as it is, we as musicians understand the necessity to have rules in place to protect musicians and the work they produce from copyright infringements.
Catch the premiere of our music video for Grogg Mayles from
@SeaOfThieves
in 10 minutes!! Let us know if you like it and if youโd like to hear us singing more Sea of Thieves songs in the comments (and share/subscribe and all that)
When we started this project, undervalued workers were striking for better pay and conditions. In a better world things would have been resolved to their satisfaction and we'd be months late. Unfortunately, it premieres in 6 hours and nothing has changed.
Rejoice! We will, very soon, be revealing the details of our next Community Project which we are *thrilled* to announce is in collaboration with our good friends at
@yogscast
!
See you on Wednesday's livestream for the full rundown?

Part 6.
If youโre able, or want to give a mention to us then weโd be very grateful, but this isnโt a requirement of using our music.
Much love to all of you, and happy streaming!!

in-game sails, so I finally got round to making some for them myself. Decided to do a hull edit as well, though I still think it's a tad too messy but there they are ๐ Last image is the reference/inspiration for it all! ๐
3. As such, we want to make a statement that if you want to play our music in a stream as background music or to listen to it whilst doing something else, you have our full permission to do so! If youโre able to give us a shoutout, itโs very much appreciated, but not requisite.
It looks like we might be able to keep Wellerman in the top 40 for the official charts on Friday!! If youโre able to spare 79p to pick up the track on iTunes, it would mean the world! Letโs get a folk song in the charts!! โค๏ธ
Part 4.
Weโve been working tirelessly with the label to get this issue solved and can now confirm that all our music is once again 100% Twitch safe!! This will also be true of our future releases as well as our back catalogue.
4. Even though protecting our rights is important, we really believe that building a positive community together is more important. If you feel your community will benefit from some of our music, then get involved. Special mention to you
@seaofthieves
streamers out there!
So grateful for all the people weโve met and made friends with through Twitter! So many that weโve admired for years and can now call friends.
But if Twitter dies, Iโll still regret not getting
@MarkHamill

You did it! 1 million views in under a month! Congrats to all who are in the video and thanks to everyone else who's still watching it. Next one at 1mil Youtube subs!

The group's album 'Between Wind And Water' debuts at No. 13 on this week's Americana/Folk Albums chart.
It's JD's birthday today! So as a special treat, let's use this exploitable greenscreen picture to send him on a magical journey. For instance, here he is meeting his favourite shanty band, The Longest Johns! Wow, can you imagine?๐คฉ

Part 5.
We still fully stand by wanting to support the streaming community, and if our music will help add to the atmosphere in the community youโre trying to build, then weโre proud to be a part of that.
Part 2.
Many of you already know that we made a statement when the issue around music on twitch first appeared, giving our permission for Twitch streamers to use our music in their streams with our blessing.
After the long wait, we're so happy to announce we're doing another COMMUNITY PROJECT ๐
This time, it's The Workers Song, and we want YOU to be a part of it! For info on how you can take part, click the link below ๐
Happiest of birthdays to
@SeaOfThieves
! I think it's fair to say that our trajectory would've been significantly different if not for you. Thank you for such a great community, and here's to many more years on the seas!
Singing together is the best way to keep your spirits up! Are you joining the picket lines, or know people who are? We would love to see any videos/pictures of yourselves singing this for a morale boost. Fight on, union strong!
Thank you to everyone who has listened to the album so far. We're so thrilled to get over 1.5 MILLION streams on Spotify in just 10 days! โค
What's your favorite track so far?
Part 3.
However, we ran into some difficulties with certain songs getting automatically muted after we signed to a major record label earlier this year.
IT. IS. TIME.
Raise your pick, and raise your voice! The Longest Johns and

2. However, we also know the value and atmosphere good music brings to an audience on stream! We have also had a number of streamers who play our music and actively encourage their fans to seek us out and listen to more of our stuff, which is amazing!
