Andy's a revellation on this. He really comes alive with an audience! Sometimes on streams it looks like he'd rather be having a rest in the next room 😆. (Not that I blame him - I can't imagine a more uncomfortable situation myself.)
To be entirely fair to the poor chap, I think the lyrics he was given for Northwest Passage missed the last verse, and he was clearly being given cues by the other members of the Wellermen. It can’t be easy to be doing a gig when you’ve been given just a couple of days to learn the songs, as he himself said the entire audience knew the lyrics better than he did. And to be honest lyrics get forgotten regularly even by long term shanty singers, it’s almost a requirement to mess up or forget lyrics once during a shanty set! 😅
I love this song (One More Pull), which TLJs don't sing often enough in their streams. Again, thank you for sharing the experience with those of us who can't get to see them.
Thanks for posting this Lynne - I was just listening to the lockdown version last evening (which is presumably why YT added yours to my viewing list - spies!) Curious to know if you are the clever bead-work artist? Loved Gazpacho last stream.
Thank you so much for recording this, it's one of my favourites.
I love when Andy goes to listen to JD's bass at close range. 🙂
I am officially a fan!
The Longest Johns are a great group to be a fan of. ❤️

I was also at this show, what a great night. Funniest moment was the Wellermens' guest singer messing up Northwest Passage 😄

What, exactly , is JD's range? Just, like, all the notes or does he have a limit?
I think he said on a stream once he can go down to a B

I did bead the pieces, the 3D stuff was not my own design, just altered a smart persons pattern, but the Gazpacho and Adequate I designed. Thank you
