The three priests
Three priests from Northern Ireland have signed with Sony BMG. Fr Eugene O'Hagen, his brother Fr Martin O'Hagen, and have been friends since schooldays at , Garron Tower; and they've been singing together since then too. The terms of the contract include provisions enabling the priests to continue their pastoral work, and profits from the sale of CDs will go to charities.
In the past few years, I've seen them perform individually in various roles at , and David is a former colleague of mine from our days working at the University of Ulster (where he also sang with the university choir). But their diaries may now be too full for local opera. "The Priests", as they'll be known, now join a list of other Sony BMG signees including Westlife, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Justin Timberlake and the now strangely-well-named Usher.

"My Lovely Horse
Running through the.. field
Where are you going
With your fetlocks blowing
In the... wind
I want to shower you with sugar lumps
And ride you over...fences
I want to polish your hooves every single day
And bring you to the horse... dentist
My lovely horse
You're a pony no... more
Running around
With a man on your back
Like a train in the night
Like a train in the... (hang on I can get this)... night!

I take it you are aware of the stark hypocrisy of what you say in post two. so its for atheists to laugh at homosexuality is it? i wasn't meaning to start some kind of piss take.
its interesting to compare this discussion with the yeats one were PTL warns not to enjoy yeats because he was inspired by the occult. Are you not doing exactly the same thing here?
