Drink, Feck, and Girls – 3 Priests in the Music Industry

Well apparently they have signed a £1 million deal and I saw them on the BBC’ Breakfast TV this morning – The Priests, a trio of Irish Priests who do not drink, say feck or chase girls.. yet. They sound pretty good for that sort of music, and I bet that they do not know [...]
