The Pony has now trotted off into the sunset, and we can't thank you all enough for coming out to see this magnificent beast of a tour! Good times, and strange cheese, were had in unequal measure!
@elponypisador

A fun picture of members from both The Longest Johns and El Pony Pisador in what appears to be a backstage setting. They are all sat along a large, wide, yellow leather sofa, with various expressions of glee and disgust on their faces. In the middle of this, an enormous wheel of cheese is being held with a sizeable chunk taken out of it.

An action shot from the middle of a performance in the majestic Winchester Cathedral. The picture is taken from the back of the stage area, out across the band and towards the audience. It shows members of both bands in the middle of a song. The cathedral itself is adorned with blue lights and giant whale sculptures hanging from the roof.

Another action shot, where JD is the main focus of the photograph as he bends back to give his acoustic guitar a mighty strum, eyes held tightly shut and mouth open in song, while in the background Antonio can be seen casually holding his bass up above his head.

A picture from the front of the stage where Andy, in the foreground, has a hand on a mic stand while singing, and members of El Pony Pisador are behind him, arranged across the stage and each playing a different instrument.

The Longest Pony tour is over! Here's some pics from the final show in Winchester cathedral. Huge thanks to all who came to see this magnificent beast. We will have tour shirts in our shop ASAP for anyone who didn't manage to get one. Thanks to Anto, Florin, and Caz for working so hard to make the shows great and Claire Komar for the amazing pics.

A photo from a set taken from the TLJ show at Winchester Cathedral, showing the TLJ lineup in the middle of playing a song. It's taken from the position of the audience facing the band, with Andy on the left playing the banjo, wearing a black denim shirt, Robbie in the middle wearing a black jacket and singing, and JD on the right in a blue denim shirt, playing the guitar and also singing with some kind of snarl on his face. In the background, Anto can be seen playing the bass and Florin on the drums. Around and behind them, the walls and of the cathedral stretch away and up to the ceiling, making quite the visually-impressive backdrop to the show.

A black-and-white shot from stage-right, facing out across the band and back towards the audience. Members of TLJ and El Pony Pisador can be seen on stage, JD in the middle of the shot with his arms raised to clap, while the audience also have their hands up. In the background, hanging over the audience from the ceiling of the cathedral, there are banners and whale sculptures.

A colour shot from the perspective of the audience, of El Pony Pisador on stage playing a flute, fiddle, banjo, and acoustic guitar, including Anto and Florin on bass and drums respectively. Also in the middle of the shot is a mysterious palm tree, that may (or may not) be hiding JD from view. He's holding it. He's hiding behind it. That's the bit.

A traditional group shot from the end of the show with the lineup of both bands arranged across the stage, cheering, along with the audience in the background filling the cathedral. Everyone looks very pleased with this. The banners and whale sculptures are also visible hanging from the ceiling, and the cathedral is cast in a cold blue light, with purple and green accents.

A picture taken during the live show of The Longest Pony, from stage right looking across the stage. In the background members of both bands (El Pony Pisador and The Longest Johns) can be seen in the midst of performing a song. Then in the foreground, proudly facing the camera and not participating in the song but instead holding up a (reportedly) 10kg wheel of cheese, it's Robbie, mouth open in glee, holding up a (reportedly) 10kg wheel of cheese.

A more normal picture of the show, simply showing Florin at the drums with his arms raised and sticks crossed in the process of playing a song. There are also small palm trees decorating the sides of the stage.

A picture again taken from stage right, this time facing out past the band and with the audience in the background of the shot. Everyone is actively playing a song, there's all sorts of jubilant, energetic music-playing poses and activities going on, such as JD bent double up at the front of the stage after delivering what might be a mighty guitar strum.

A traditional shot from the back of the stage, of the full lineup arranged across the stage facing the camera, and the audience behind them. Also the wheel of cheese has returned, held aloft by Robbie. The audience also look delighted at the spectacle.

A photograph from the TLJ studio showing the full, complete lineup for The Longest Pony, featuring in pride of place the latest addition to the tour: a wheel of cheese, which is also decorated with an ouroboros of Gazpacho, the Longest Pony himself. Everyone looks sickeningly proud of this accomplishment.

A picture, with two images on a bright red background. The first is the familiar cartoon of Gazpacho, The Longest Pony, in all his regular glory as his preternaturally long, taffy-like body stretches from left to right.
Then below, good heavens, an x-ray image shows that this body is filled, pantomime-horse-like, with humans! One at the rear with feet on the floor, then bent double, holding the ankles of a second, who is dangling horizontally in a Superman flight pose, holding onto the ankles of a third, who is themselves in the same pose holding a fourth. This person is also suspended wholly in the air, but holding on (for dear life, with incredible strength) to the waist of the front person who stands upright, their arms outstretched to fill Gazpacho's muzzle.
Enjoy that mental image. Robbie made this.

A picture of the Cunard building in Liverpool, where our old pal Gazpacho is awkwardly draped across the rooftops of it and its neighbouring buildings

A picture of the left side of the Penshaw Monument in Sunderland, where Gazpacho is lazily streaming in from the left side and sprawled across the hillside like a garden hose

A neighbouring picture of the right side of the Penshaw Monument in Sunderland, where Gazpacho is emerging from behind the monument to continues its rubbery way on and out the right side of the picture

A picture of the Voyage album artwork, the floating sky island (skyland?) in the distance with its rustic buildings and high domed towers, and in the foreground the hull of a flying ship with swarthy sky-sailor leaning over the edge while supporting himself from a rope, the whole thing cast in sunset tones of oranges and browns. THEN, through the image loops the uncomfortably long body of Gazpacho the Longest Pony, entering from the rear left behind the island, and draping around the back of the island and its buildings, before reaching into the fore of the image and across the deck of the ship, leaving the image to the right.

A radical tonal shift here, where we see a Japanese man in a suit, stood in what appears to be a zoo. He is facing to the left with outstretched arms, one angled up, one down, and between them is pulling a lengthy strip of Long Sakeru Gummy, a Japanese confectionary. In the background, the lengthy body of Gazpacho enters the shot from the left, stretching through the shot, and leaves on the right. At the top of the shot, the subtitles ~Long Long Pony~ are visible.

It's a picture, surprise, this time courtesy of Erian so your poster takes minimal responsibility. It shows an enormous, white trumpet statue photographed from a low angle, in front of a building and with a bright blue sky in the background. The body of Gazpacho enters from out of shot on the left, disappears into the mouthpiece of the trumpet, and then exits through the bell and off out of shot.

A cosy stock image Christmas scene, featuring an enclosed fire burning away in the background, piles of cut wood underneath and around it, a chair with a few presents piled up on the left, and two pairs of be-socked feet warming in front of the fire. Then, intruding onto the scene, the body of Gazpacho arrives from the top left and sort of dangles down into the shot before curling around over and then behind the feet in front of the fire, so as to warm itself in the fashion of a particularly disconcerting puppy, before once again wending its way onwards to the right of the image and leaving. Merry Christmas?

A shot of a beach at evening, where Gazpacho's enlengthened body enters from the left, crosses the beach, and then plunges down into the sand on the right. The three-headed MS Paint Longest Johns Amalgamation is sat astride Gazpacho, arms raised in triumph. In front of them, is a wooden sign saying "Long Pony Rides"

An image showing a sandy desert where, in the middle, a huge caldera has erupted and from the middle, the body of Gazpacho is bursting forth amid a cloud of badly-photoshopped dust and debris, before disappearing once more off to the right of the frame. In front of this crater, two small figures can be seen standing in what may be some sort of awe. This is a still from Dune. The joke is that Gazpacho is taking the place of a sandworm.

This is a shot from the game Elden Ring. In the background, a glowing, golden Minor Erdtree can be seen towering over the Altus Plateau location. Coming into shot from the left, the body of Gazpacho is seen, while in the foreground a player character sits on a cliff in the dim evening light. At the bottom of the shot, a boss health bar is visible, titled "Gazpacho, The Longest Pony"

This shows a segmented rainbow-striped body running straight across the scene from left to right, against a dark blue background with stars. To the right can just be seen the possible hair and ear of Gazpacho! We nearly caught him, but oh no I think he's going to get away! Perhaps if this image had music it would be singing the Nyan Cat song, who knows.

A 'The Longest Pony' tour poster, that has been TWICE invaded by Gazpacho! Once in a perfectly ordinary fashion as a fancy prancing lad down at the bottom, but another bursting in from the left side and draping across the torn paper section of the middle, before disappearing to the right. Above are shown members of The Longest Johns (Robbie, JD, and Andy) enjoying an outdoors cup of tea, and to their right are El Pony Pisador all wearing a variety of animal hats. Below Gazpacho are the show's tour dates for February 2025 and read:
Feb 01 - Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry
Feb 02 - Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
Feb 03 - O2 Academy 2, Liverpool
Feb 04 - Brewery Arts, Kendal
Feb 05 - The Fire Station, Sunderland
Feb 07 - The Sub Rooms, Stroud
SOLD OUT - Winchester Cathedral, Winchester

A still from the Northwest Passage video collaboration between The Longest Johns and El Pony Pisador. It shows the lineup from both bands sat outside in a garden, The Ponies with a variety of instruments (violin, banjo, guitars), and TLJ sat in the fore looking sombre, except for JD who is singing. Dave is also in this picture, because it's an old one. Gazpacho is also in this picture, sprawling through the shot from left to right, weaving his way through the musicians.

A more recent shot from the US Voyage tour, showing the band sat across the stage at the end of a show. It shows JD sat casually, Andy with a celebratory fist-pump, Robbie with a grin, and both Anto and Eric (stand-in drummer for the tour) also doing fist-pumps. The audience are behind with arms raised, but are obscured by that pesky longhorse again

Last picture shows an overhead shot of a Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team tournament game, including the back of a player's head. The player's head is captioned "Jon Darley - Vet Guard". On the battlefield below, a variety of miniature terrain and obstacles are shown, and through them weaves the elastic body of the ever-lengthened horse.

Now let's check back in with the hunt for Gazpacho...

Ah.
This is our collective responsibility. We all did this.
Hope he can be corralled before the tour starts on Feb 1st!

A recently-shared picture of Marti from El Pony Pisador, lying in a hospital bed, with his right leg completely in plaster. He is grinning and has his fingers up in a 'peace' sign. Coming in from the left of the frame is the lengthened body of Gazpacho, which is draped over his broken leg, and under his unbroken one, before leaving to the right.

A shot of a team of men in a snow-covered frozen wasteland. They are dressed in arctic exploration gear appropriate to an 1845-1848 time period, and dragging a small boat on a sled that is probably laden with their supplies. Gazpacho is trailed through the scene and across the snowy ground, where members of the party are stepping over him. They show no signs of Terror.

Some tonal whiplash now as Gazpacho is weaving his way through a shot from a Longest Johns Community Project video, appearing under and over various frames of different recordings.

Lastly, Gazpacho is present in a shot from the press kit for GEOFF KEIGHLEY'S VIDEO GAME AWARD GAME OF THE YEAR AWARD NOMINEE Balatro, where his troubling body is hanging below the game's UI and trailed beneath the displayed cards.

PONY LOCATED!
Okay, keep on sharing to see where else this goes
https://www.thelongestjohns.com/live

Gazpacho, the long pony, bursting through the side of a classic, popular meme, and extending across the image. The meme itself says "Off work late? Bored but nothing to watch on television? Try singing 70 to 80 shanties. Sing them with your friends. Neighbours love shanties and will thank u for 70 to 80 of them. You will certainly not regret singing 70 to 80 shanties"

Gazpacho now extends across the classic Windows XP 'Bliss' background, showing lightly cloudy blue skies above rolling, verdant fields.

This shows Gazpacho entering and snaking through The Prancing Pony as depicted in Peter Jackson's classic movie the 'The Lord of the Rings'.

This shows Gazpacho arriving and weaving through what appears to be an MS Paint drawing of the cover of 'People' magazine, where The Longest Johns (badly-drawn MS Paint three-headed version) are sat leaning dramatically on the cover of a yellow New York taxi, and are being declared the 'Shantiest Alive'. This is a Special Issue about 3 man we love. They are 'always singing, always singing, & always singing'.
