They were the overnight success that was almost 40 years in the making. The Very Reverend Eugene O’Hagan, Martin O’Hagan and David Delargy – collectively known as The Priests – were catapulted to fame when they signed with Sony BMG in 2008. The Priests will release their fourth studio album, Alleluia, in the US in November 2018 and will be visiting the US in November for a short concert tour.

The Priests have found a happy medium, where they are able to balance the responsibilities of parish life with maintaining a global career. By coordinating their diaries, seeking the support of colleagues and devoting their energies to their music, they remain at the forefront of religious and secular music. The classical music trio have more ideas in the pipeline and hope the release of their fourth album will be followed by a feature film, called Raising the Roof. The movie is currently in pre-production and could give them the opportunity to enjoy a red carpet premiere. After their US tour they have a Christmas tour of Ireland planned, a celebration of their 10 years of being a bonefide group.

Fr. Martin says: “When we perform live, we have a wonderful opportunity to engage with the audience. We find it very uplifting and reassuring. But I always keep in my mind that there will be people in the audience who need a good night out – it’s not a vigil. There is humor and banter and we sing secular pieces as well. The audience goes home with a spring in their step. And so do we!”
