Buy This CD And Let These Sacred Arias
Wash Over You In A Musical Flood...

As priests, they are Catholic clergymen serving parishes in Northern Ireland. But as The Priests, they’re a singing trio that a major music company is promoting in dozens of countries for Christmas.

The Rev. Eugene O’Hagan, his brother the Rev. Martin O’Hagan, and the Rev. David Delargy, a boyhood friend, signed a record contract with Sony BMG last spring. Since then, they’ve been navigating an unusual path between piety and pop culture. With the help of Radiohead’s string arranger and Mike Hedges a world-class producer who’s worked with the likes of Travis, Manic Street Preachers and U2, the group recorded an album of hymns sung in close harmony and a traditional liturgical style. The album titled The Priests has been released by various Sony labels in more than 30 countries, including the United States.

The album comes with a novel back story (working priests who perform in their clerical collars) and a selection of sacred but accessible hits (Ave Maria, Pie Jesu) that Sony thinks can attract broader attention than even most pop projects.

Industry interest in holiday-themed releases has spiked since Josh Groban’s Noel collection became the top-selling album of 2007. The Priests, featuring O Holy Night, is being launched in time for Christmas....MORE

Customer Review

When Time Magazine said 'they sing like angels' it was far from an exaggeration. With the seemingly endless supply of operatic voices singing lacklustre versions of `Pie Jesu' these days, the three Priests from Northern Ireland are totally a refreshing revelation. What sets them apart from the rest is their connection to this collection of songs that draws you into their world, leaving you believing every word that they sing. There's most epic and heartfelt version in `Ave Maria'; their 'Irish Blessing' is perfection and the lesser know 'Ecce Sacerdos' is totally captivating. It's not brash or preachy: it's just brilliant music...Graham Timms
