When The Priests released their self-titled album back in 2008, they could have had little inkling of what was about to happen to them. As it transpired, plenty did - huge record sales, record-breaking triumphs, global fame, the racking up of an awful lot of air miles.

Three years on The Priests have sold over three million copies of their debut album, which sold at such a frantic pace it quickly secured them a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-selling classical debut of all time.

I'm really excited that The Priests will be doing a concert tour in the U.S. I've waited for this a long time. I hope the Fathers will get a great American welcome. I've seen their Armagh and Liverpool concerts on DVD and theyre great. I loved every minute. Can't wat to hear and see them live. Ive heard they sing lots of Irish songs and popular songs from the shows as well as the best loved sacred songs.
