Well Hello There!

Welcome to our friends, old and new. We hope you like our new look site, which will expand as time goes by.

After a whirlwind couple of years of releasing albums and visiting many countries to support our records' release, plus of course meeting lots of wonderful new people, we decided we wanted some time in our parishes to reflect on all that has passed and all that is hopefully to come.

We have many exciting plans afoot, not least a US tour for this autumn/fall and an Irish tour at Christmas.

We are thrilled to have been asked to play some live concerts in the United States, we have never been able to spend more than a couple of days there before, so we hope those of you visiting this site from the US, will join us for what we hope to be some wonderful shows. You can find out about the dates and how to buy tickets on this page. We will be regularly updating this page so keep checking in for the latest information and news.

We have recently re-signed our recording contract with Sony Music and we are working on a new album for some time in the future. We'll keep you posted as it all comes together.

Please bear with us while we work to broaden this website. We look forward to your thoughts and feedback.

Our very best wishes to you all

Fr Eugene, Fr Martin, Fr David

Getting ready for the tour

Hi everybody. We spent last Sunday evening going through the music for the USA tour. No matter how well we think we know the music it’s important to get together to make sure we know exactly what we’re doing. We’re told it’s going to be pretty cold during our visit to some parts of USA…it gets pretty cold here, although the Gulf stream usually keeps Ireland snow free during winter, apart from the odd snow shower. Last year was exceptionally cold here in N. Ireland so we can anticipate, just a little bit, what we might experience during the tour.

At the end of the week we officially celebrate the centenary of the parish church, Sacred Heart, Ballyclare and the opening of the new parish hall. You’ll be able to follow the celebration via the parish web cameras so do join us on Sunday 6 Nov at 3.00pm our time. I’ll post a pic of the hall for you to see. We’re really pleased with the end result and it will be a great asset and resource for the future. More news about our preparations for the USA tour later. Fr E
