    Fair play to them. They certainly have good voices. Their advertising campaign is very Father Ted though. Think they could do with an image make-over.

    Well when I heard/saw the young nurse in the dentist singing it and dancing to it when it was on the radio I knew it was a good thing :)

    She probably didn't buy it mind you :D, hopefully more will. :)

    Very Nice.
    Women Priests too by the sound of it.
    The Ave Maria is hardly very Christmas'sy is it though?

    Anyway, if that sort of thing, I'm partial to a bit myself, you might like some of these, some Christmas stuff there too.

    The Mozart 250 is a great CD.

    Not for me thanks, Gareth.

    But I do need a 67mm graduated neutral density filter for my camera if you're stuck. :)

    We'll do a whip around and see what funds we can muster.

    Good old fashioned Catholic hymns there.
    None of your inspirational muck. ;)

    Though I was a bit disappointed to see a serious lack of Irish people involved in the production. Mike Hedges there was a record producer for Souxie and the Banshees, The Cure and The Manic Street Preachers. Good man Mike.

    My fave would be Mozarts Pie Jesu one for me funeral...

    Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fryuQVAuASs&feature=related

    It's good at least till the vocals come in..

    It's an arrangement of an old negro spiritual another for the funeral:D

    Should pay for some of those abuse cases the church are now struggling to find money for.

    Take it up with Sony/BMG. Must have cost a few quid to put together.
    I doubt they are getting silly money for the records sold. Not much more than for few posters on the side of a bus or something. Though their audience is probably less likely to download it off a torrent site:pac: so maybe they'll do ok off the CD. Touring, Gig's and T-shirts is where it's at these days...

    I would be keen to know what the story is there though. Do Priests have an odd job on the side that earns him a few bob? Not that I be-grudge them a living, but if they start filling the Point or something?

    I think they mentioned on the Late Late that if this thing gets big, they're going to be using proceeds for the greater good.

    Yes, as far as I remember they are not putting it in their own pockets or in the coffers of the RCC. :)

    The proceeds are merely 'resting' in their accounts... ;)
