With their global hit and UK top 40 track ‘The Wellerman’ propelling them into the limelight, the Longest Johns are wasting no time in establishing themselves as one of the UK’s most innovative and prolific acts. After the release of their album Smoke & Oakum on Decca records, multiple tours and Major festival appearances at Glastonbury, Latitude and Shambala, there is certainly no slowing down for Bristol’s finest export.
