Maurice Macartney's Bully's Acre
All you who enter here
Lay your flags and your titles down
Take your place
On this level ground
Come and hear the call
Step up, gather round
We’re building our new common
And a new New Town
Performed by Stephen & Maurice Macartney

This is a beautiful song.
Lay your flags and titles down
Take your place in this common ground 💚
And one more thing for the Maurice Macartney thread. Maurice made The Spirit Cellarman film, looks at clans, clearances and commoners on the Isle of Skye, by way of a family connection. It's a fascinating story.

This is the song, Bully's Acre, written by Maurice Macartney, that appears at the end of The Forgotten Famine film. It is performed Stephen Macartney and Maurice. Hear it in full. Click the link below.
In so many ways it captures the heart and soul of the film.

A thread here from the @heartsofdown.bsky.social introducing the work of the multitalented Maurice Macartney @jointhecoo.bsky.social. Maurice is a thinker, writer, songwriter and musician. The song at the top of the thread is beautiful.
Our friend Maurice Macartney wrote an incredible song for the Forgotten Famine film. Link in thread.
Will never forget him walking into to the pub with guitar and lyrics, and all of us singing along.
Maurice’s work is a window into the space and conversations we’re trying to carve out in our town.
