I've recently gotten into Sea Shanties and can highly recommend 'The Longest Johns' to anyone who is interested in getting a taste for what it's like.
Some of my favourites:

There's just something about having a group of people singing that is just so appealing to me and I just can't put my finger onto why but I think it has something to do with the social side of it.
- skibz 6y agoBeautiful vocal harmonies.
- IIAOPSW 6y agoMy recommendation is the Dreadnoughts. "Roll Northumbria" is an old style shanty about a modern day oil tanker. Hands down best introduction to the group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d3XHQVMHDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d3XHQVMHDM "Dear old Stan" will have you randomly chanting "Arise and be Merry" at random intervals throughout the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHpizfjWrXA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHpizfjWrXA
- Syonyk 6y ago> There's just something about having a group of people singing that is just so appealing to me... If you like The Longest Johns, check out Port Isaac's Fisherman Friends. Similar large vocal group. I can tell you why I like a lot of those groups: It's people who can sing, singing. No autotune, no filters, no massive audio processing pipelines. I've heard plenty of groups like that at festivals over the years, and they tend to sound just like they do on the album (for good or for bad - Gaelic Storm's live shows have no energy to them, they're just performing the album). Also, barbershop needs to come back. :D
