To mark this 50th anniversary year of the coronation of the statue of Our Lady of Victories in Xaghra, `the Priests’ will perform an Easter Concert at the Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady.

It was on the 2nd of September, 1973, the late Mgr Nikol Cauchi, Bishop of Gozo, crowned the statue

The concert is on Friday, the 14th of April, starting at 8.30pm. To book a free seat please email on thepriestsgozo@gmail.com

The Irish trio have been singing together since they boarded in the 1970s as students of St MacNissi’s College in Ireland.

After signing a deal with SonyBMG in 2008, the priests recorded their debut album, with the unusual honour of having been allowed to record in St Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican.

The album ‘The Priests,’ which follows the name of this trio, was released worldwide in over 30 countries and to-date has sold more than 3 million copies and in fact got them into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the fastest-selling classical debut of all time.

‘The Priests’ have performed concerts in many other countries and their message through music and song is intended to go beyond religion and culture and aims to deliver peace and hope to the world.
