The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff is the story of one man’s adventure from begging on the streets in the north of England to fighting against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, taking in the Hunger Marches and the Battle of Cable Street. It’s a timely, touching and often hilarious musical adventure following the footsteps of one of working class hero who witnessed some of the momentous events of the 1930s. With their trademark harmony, honestly and humour the Teeside trio bring together 16 specially composed songs, spoken word, striking imagery and the real recorded voice of Johnny himself to tell a remarkable human story oozing with modern relevance.
“This collection surely marks Sean Cooney’s arrival as one of the very best songwriters of the modern day” Colin Irwin, fRoots
