The Longest Johns and Seán Dagher

Seán Dagher, a Montreal-based folk singer and multi-instrumentalist, is celebrated for his sea shanty recordings in the Assassin's Creed video game series, notably Black Flag. He performs Celtic, Baroque, Medieval, Arabic, and French-Canadian music, playing instruments like the Irish bouzouki and oud. A member of Skye Consort and co-artistic director of La Nef, Dagher has earned multiple OPUS and ADISQ awards. His "Shanty of the Week" series and albums like "Songs of the Seas Vol. 2" are popular.

Bristol sea-shanty pioneers The Longest Johns formed when friends who bonded over video games started singing shanties, first posting kitchen recordings on YouTube. They’ve since played shanty festivals worldwide, growing a global folk community.
