  • Johnny Marr has teamed up with the award-winning actor Maxine Peake to create a new project which sets Peake’s spoken word performances to Marr’s instrumental soundscapes. ‘The Priest’ is based upon the characters that Joe Gallagher met on the streets in the first few days after becoming homeless in Edinburgh. Gallagher wrote a diary of his experiences for the Big Issue under the pseudonym James Campbell when he first became homeless in May 2015 and continued until he found a new home in March 2016.
    This short film was filmed in Manchester and features Molly Windsor in the lead role.
    Music. Johnny Marr
    Voice. Maxine Peake
    Starring Molly Windsor
    Directed by Mat Bancroft and Johnny Marr
    Written by Johnny Marr, Maxine Peake and Joe Gallagher
    Shot by Sitcom Soldiers

    Johnny Marrs dramatic music, Molly Windsors air of vulnerability and Maxine Peaks melancholy Manchester accent....great combination

      Maxine Peake doesn't have a Manc accent. She's from Bolton. Different accent.

      This is the most powerfully, emotionally and psychologically resonant piece of music he’s done since how soon is now. The video and acting hits the mark and tone perfectly. It is however, ridiculous as a premise as this beautiful girl could get a live in boyfriend or a job in less than an hour and be housed with not so much as a smile. This is the struggle of men who nobody cares about, forsaken, alone, shunned and forgotten.

    I am on my way to the Salvation Army, see if I can get something to eat.
    I'm skint and I don't know a soul.
    On the street, where the Sally Army is, I am approached by two guys.
    "D'you want to buy any gear?" I am asked.
    "What sort of gear?"
    "Skag, smack ma'am."
    "Nah, no thanks - it's not my thing."
    "What about crack then?"
    "Nah, not my thing either," I reply.
    "Spice?''
    "No''
    "What about a drink then eh?"
    "Nah," I reply. "I'm not drinking at the minute, got stuff to sort."
    "What!? Are you a fuckin vicar?!"
    Laughing, they make their way onwards leaving me to scrounge a bit of breakfast at the Sally Army.
    The following day I am on my way to another place that provides food for homeless people, I come across the same two guys. They see me and one says to the other "Watch out, it's the priest!" They stand in a prayer stance. I look round, there is no priest.
    "Arite Priest" one of the guys says to me as I make it to the doorway of the free food place. They are talking to me.
    "Arite" I reply and make my way to the door in full realisation that I had been on the streets of this city for four days and I had already been tagged.
    Maybe had a street name: Priest!
    Sleeping rough is a dangerous thing.
    People spend their nights awake.
    Me, well I try not to worry too much about it.
    If someone grabs me at night and kills me to death… May not be a bad thing.
    Not that I would welcome it, I just don't want to think about it too much.
    Guy comes along to where we are sleeping, another fucking visitor. He's about 25/30 years old, from Coatbridge and he's well 'refreshed'.
    His mates have ditched him, he's missed his train home and he wants to talk.
    I want to sleep. It's gonna be a long night.
    Watch out! It's the priest!
    I had been on the streets of this city and I don't know a soul.
    Watch out! It's the priest!
    "Arite there pal, what you doin' here?"
    "Tryin to sleep."
    "I've missed ma train n ma pals huv all fucked off n uv got naewhere tae kip…
    You homeless then?"
    "Yes.'' ''Yep."
    "You look oot ay it," he says. "Are ye kitted up?"
    "No, I am just very tired and it's after two in the morning".
    "I hud a bit 'o' coke earlier on."
    Oh for fuck's sake!
    It's gonna be a long night...
    Watch out! It's the priest!
    What a fucking masterpiece!!!!!!

    Perfectly encapsulates wandering the streets of Manchester aimlessly. Unfortunately this is day in day out for some. Sleeping rough on Oxford road as men in designer three piece suits walk on by, in and out of their well paid 9 to 5 job and still complain about increased taxes.

    I'm enthralled. This is true art; something that makes us feel deeper. A story is told, and while the events that take place seem rather mundane, it's brilliant because underlying it all is the fact that this young girl is on the streets and each moment carries potential danger for her. I actually love that in the end nothing of major significance happens; it's the constant threat that it could. Then you take the story and lay out this wonderful, yet haunting melody; adding layers on it with each passing verse, throw in a groovy beat and excellent narration and you have a masterpiece. Absolutely brilliant.

      Yea, here in Canada, extremes of poverty and wealth are exacerbated daily.
      You'd think that at this point, the widespread squalor in the supposed prosperous west would make many better-off folks at least think about fixing the homeless problem.
      Oh yea, homelessness is EXPENSIVE for society. Cops, jails, shelters, soup kitchens,food banks, courts. It all adds up, and abject misery is the end product.
