Three Roman Catholic priests in Belfast are set to take the music world by storm, having signed a major record deal with Sony BGM. They were spotted by a talent scout while singing in their churches, and while their style is closer to Belfast's Christ Church than Wales's Charlotte Church, they are set to make their impact on the music charts.

The trio, ingeniusly calling themselves "The Priests", comprise of a pair of brothers, Fathers Eugene and Martin O'Hagen, along with Father David Delargy, all of whom have parishes in the diocese of Down and Connor. While local parisoners have greeted the news with a mix of enthusiasm and bemusement, the reaction has been largely positive. Their record deal may be the first one ever to include a clause which ensures that Sunday is always free so they can still give mass in their local parishes.

This has lead to criticism from some other religions who feel that they are being sidelined. Buddhism has long been known for its rapping monk, Mr. Happiness, who has been working to bring Buddhism to the youth with lyrics such as "I came to this world to help you out of suffering. My name is Shaka Munibutsu (Gautama Siddhartha). Say baby, listen to me. Everyone's my cute baby. I'm here to help you out of suffering and pain.. ." While he himself is in a state of perfect harmony, people have been employed to be outraged on his behalf. "This is a disgrace!" said one fan, "Mr. Happiness has been debasing his religious position for years to bring the message to the youth, while these priests aren't even trying to convert people, they're just singing for the sake of singing!"

The Priests and record company have brushed away these criticisms as petty jealously, and are determined to press ahead with their November album release date. The three up and coming stars have pledged all the money they will make from the deal to charity, with Fr. Delargy quoted as saying "rrrrrrr, sagin' fragin' rashin' casin' rasin' charity..."
