Just in case you were thinking this is purely a Longest Johns fan account, other bands that spark joy and build communities also exist. 😃 And now I get to see them live too - tickets bought for the 3 UK @homefreeguys.bsky.social shows in September. Patreon pre-sale now and public sale on Friday.

Some more fun moments from #TheLongestJohns concerts. Were you at any of these? #TLJGig

Longest Johns singer Andy is about to pull up his jeans to show off his "beautiful hairy leg". JD is kneeling to hold the leg up in the air and smiling at the audience.

Andy of the Longest Johns is playing his banjo with his foot up on a wheel of cheese, with the Longest Pony artwork on it. His long hair is across his face, and he generally looks like a rock star.

Robbie and JD of the Longest Johns are standing close together, about to start waltzing to the Tennessee Waltz.

Robbie of the Longest Johns is kneeling on stage, emoting about the crew that keep mutinying.

A mallard of such malice... From their last show at the Bristol Beacon - looking forward to seeing them again on the 30th May. #TLJGig #TheLongestJohns

Is it cheating if I have go back half a dozen pictures to find just one person? 😆 The Longest Johns music is guaranteed to make me feel better, at least.

Longest Johns singer Robbie stands on the barrier at CastleFest fantasy festival, in the middle of their set. He's wearing a knight's tabard and short cloak and he has just stolen a fancy tricorn hat, with beads and a peacock feather, from a member of the audience.

Had a wonderful day yesterday at the Bristol Harbour Festival, particularly to see @thelongestjohns.bsky.social They always send me away smiling. And yes,still making sure that I wear a Home Free related shirt every time I see them. 😃

Robbie Sattin of the Longest Johns, holding a metal beer keg he's going to be hitting in their next song, the Hammer and the Anvil.

Andy Yates of the Longest Johns, holding up a very battered golden dish, which has suffered from years of being hit during their song the Hammer and the Anvil.

JD Darley of the Longest Johns holding up a small anchor in his left hand and a hammer in his right, ready to hit it during their song the Hammer and the Anvil.

My copy of Adam Chance's new album arrived yesterday. 😃 Such a powerful and beautiful collection of songs. www.theadamchance.com

Still wrapped CD of Adam Chance's new album, together with a signed postcard with artwork by Aji-chees showing Adam Chance as a sailor surrounded by his other interests, a guitar, a game controller, a pile of books and a camera.

Scenes around Greenwich.

Incredible venue for @thelongestjohns.bsky.social last night. Lovely to see them again, and hear songs old and new.

The Cutty Sark, a tall ship, surrounded by a glass roof over the dry dock underneath.

The empty stage before the Longest Johns performance, surrounded by lots of ship figureheads from the Cutty Sark collection. It features the Jolly Roving Bar, various instruments and props including nets, old bottles and lanterns.

Sometimes, it feels like all I do is repost things, but day to day life isn't that exciting. On the other hand, I do get to see this at the bus stop, so I shouldn't complain.

It makes me so happy that a group of guys from Catalonia are in Montreal singing about cheese-rolling. 😍😍😍 (Song is Wheels of Glory, from The Longest Pony album by @elponypisador.bsky.social and @thelongestjohns.bsky.social )

Good morning, Womble. I'm currently reading Inventing the Renaissance by @adapalmer.bsky.social Fascinating stuff.

Horses with their riders visiting a coffee cart in the local park. You can see across to the hills on the other side of the valley and there are lots of trees.

I grew up in his home town , and he's still remembered here. I heard it reported this is the only statue in England wearing a woolly hat.
