The Album 

An old Anne Bonny sings to her grand-daughter as she rembers the days long past. This is the song of the ghouls that haunt the ghostly pirate ship which emerges from the fog, during a storm in the North Atlantic. They sing of murder and betrayal, obviously remembering sketchy moments of their past before finally breaking apart like some ghastly chrysalis to reveal the fresh bodies of the 300 year old pirates.

Jack begins to remember his days as a pirate, and recounts his adventures throughout his journeys.

Anne’s eulogy to her old friend Jock McTavish, when she finds him slain at the battle of Culloden.

Mary is confronted by her past and remembers her husbands' death, and how she had to disguise herself as the boy Mark Read again, just to survive. Only on this voyage, her ship is attacked by pirates and her life will never be the same again.

Jack is transported back to the past, where his first memories of Anne resurface, and of the time she got him into trouble by stealing a gentleman’s watch.

Anne is pushed overboard by an unseen hand, but the experience shocks her into remember the abuse she suffered at the hands of her husband, James Bonny.

Especially written for Resurrection by Cat Elliott, an accomplished composer and folk singer. The song recounts Mary's imprisonment and subsequent death along with her baby, from fever. This tragedy occurred while she was incarcerated under harsh and inhumane conditions prior to her scheduled execution.

After going through a lot of soul searching and mental exhaustion, the pirates decide they deserve some relaxation. With rum in hand they indulge in a raucous sing-song, before unbeknown to them things turn very dark.

From Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance”, the humours song tells of them preparing to set forth into the modern world for the first time, unaware of what they will find. It is therefore imperative, that they proceed with cat like tread!
