Soul Song

Known collectively as The Priests, Fr Martin, Fr Eugene and Fr David, have taken the music world by storm. Since they signed their much-reported Sony contract in front of Westminster Cathedral in April 2008, their album has sold almost 2,000,000 copies worldwide and broke the Guinness record for the fastest-selling debut classical album in the UK. It has also chalked up an impressive fifteen weeks at No. 1 on the Classic FM chart and was nominated for a Classical Brit Award. In June 2009, The Priests topped off their incredibly successful year with a highly-acclaimed mini-tour of the UK and Ireland.

But long lunches in swanky restaurants and celebrity parties count for little with these down-to-earth, wonderfully talented singers, because first and foremost, David, Martin and Eugene are priests; their faith and the work they undertake in their busy parishes takes priority over everything else they do. So, whilst their gruelling promotional schedule for the album has taken them around the world - from Europe to Montreal and Toronto, from Washington to New York and Sydney, where they have played to packed houses and given dozens of press, radio and tv interviews - they have always been happy to return to their parishes in Belfast and the people they serve.

Now in Soul Song, The Priests draw upon their unique experiences as priests and performers, their love of music and their faith, as they weave together a rich, illuminating tapestry of spiritual wisdom. Insightful and engaging, it is a treasury of memories which offers us all a rare and timely opportunity to reflect on our own journey through life.

Reviews

For those whose knowledge of evolutionary theory is scant, this book provides a good introduction in three parts: "Awakening," which summarizes both Western and Eastern visionary thinkers; "The Emerging Human Being," which explains the new spiritual potential; and "Participating," which looks at the possible outcome of people operating on a superhuman level.

fascinating and insightful

—— Nicholas Wood, Sacred Hoop

This book is an absorbing and inspiring read...There is much compassion, humour and love in this unique volume, with experiences so vividly and colourfully recounted that I felt as though I was actually there with Jane as she journeyed...This is probably the most inspiring read I have yet encountered on this subject. Highly recommended

—— Pentacle

No drama, no sensationalising, just a highly readable account of the author's work with spirits, plus absorbing accounts from the experiences of her students and clients. This gives a unique and informative 'fly on the wall' insight into 'how', 'where' and 'why' shamanism operates...Reading this book, I felt the warmth and expansion of perception found in workshops and sharing circles, where everyone is contributing from their experience, and sharing from the heart.
