The Priests are set to climb the
album charts this Christmas with the
release of their iconic debut album titled
simply "The Priests".
Earlier this year an Irish musician recorded
the priests' voices in a demo and amazingly it
landed on the desk of Epic Records MD Nick
Raphael who was so impressed that he instantly
began confidential negotiations to persuade
them to sign for the label which is understood
to have committed a €1 million to making
the album. Thus giving The
Priests a worldwide audience to spread
their music.
The Priests grew up singing together whilst
studying for their priesthood and have spent
their lives using music to spread the word of
God, finding time between their religious
duties to sing together. Father David Delargy
and Fathers Martin and Eugene O'Hagan, who
signed their million pound contract on the
steps of Westminster Cathedral in April, are
poised to become global chart
superstars.
The Priests' soaring harmonies took centre
stage at a spectacular concert at Ireland's
historic St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh,
earlier this year which was broadcast coast to
coast on the United States PBS network in
the autumn. In the UK, ITV filmed a major
TV documentary on The Priests
following their every move since the day they
signed with Sony BMG. They also featured in
Time Magazine along with a photo shoot with
coveted photographer David Bailey.
'The Priests' is not only an album of awe inspiring music
but a celebration of faith, spirituality,
tolerance, love and the power of the human
spirit.
