The Priests - perhaps everyone’s favourite three piece at this year’s Classical BRIT Awards - talk backstage with t5m about their miraculous rise to fame, their hopes for the evening and the ‘thrill and honour’ of being alongside such famed classical talents such as Placido Domingo and Katherine Jenkins at the annual awards.

The Priests shot to fame in late 2008 with the release of their debut album ‘The Priests’ which became the fastest selling classical album of all time, and outsold releases from the likes of Madonna and Beyonce.

The Priests performed “Ave Maria”, backed by a boys choir at the awards ceremony.
