500 People Sing A Sea Shanty Together

December 31, 2020

The Longest Johns is a folk band that sings sea shanties and traditional folk tunes. When they decided to try out a mass choir project, they had 500 people turn up while only expecting around 100.

"It's so amazing to watch this video and see the faces of people still keeping Folk Music and Sea Shanties alive all around the globe!" the band wrote. "A huge thank you to everyone who took part, and remember to keep singing! Hopefully this video gives you a bit of optimism for the future at the end of such a dreary year."

Enjoy this beautiful virtual choir rendition of "Leave Her, Johnny".
