IF YOU are a fan of The Priests, your prayers have been answered – the trio are coming to Wexford Opera House on Friday, May 14.

Their Wexford appearance follows a successful 2009 world tour during which they appeared on TV shows with artists from Tom Jones to The Killers, including the Jonathan Ross Show and the News at Ten.

The priests have won widespread fame by just being themselves; middle-aged Roman Catholic priests who sing.

They have sold almost two million records and won a Guinness World Record for the 'fastest selling UK debut of a classical act' as well as being nominated for a Classical Brit Award.

Their new album features The Priests singing all-time classics in their own unique way.

They will appear in Wexford with their orchestra and special guest Camilla Kerslake who is a recent discovery of Gary Barlow of Take That fame.
