Known collectively as The Priests, Fr Martin, Fr Eugene & Fr David, have taken the music world by storm. Since they signed their much-reported Sony contract in front of Westminster Cathedral in April 2008, their album has sold almost 2, 000, 000 copies worldwide & broke the Guinness record for the fastest-selling debut classical album in the UK. It has also chalked up an impressive fifteen weeks at No. 1 on the Classic FM chart & was nominated for a Classical Brit Award. In June 2009, The Priests topped off their incredibly successful year with a highly-acclaimed mini-tour of the UK & Irel&.
But long lunches in swanky restaurants & celebrity parties count for little with these down-to-earth, wonderfully talented singers, because first & foremost, David, Martin & Eugene are priests; their faith & the work they undertake in their busy parishes takes priority over everything else they do. So, whilst their gruelling promotional schedule for the album has taken them around the world
- from Europe to Montreal & Toronto, from Washington to New York & Sydney, where they have played to packed houses & given dozens of press, radio & tv interviews
- they have always been happy to return to their parishes in Belfast & the people they serve.
Now in Soul Song, The Priests draw upon their unique experiences as priests & performers, their love of music & their faith, as they weave together a rich, illuminating tapestry of spiritual wisdom. Insightful & engaging, it is a treasury of memories which offers us all a rare & timely opportunity to reflect on our own journey through life.
