Monk Idol - band of brothers sought by major record label

Major record label Universal Music is on the lookout for a group of monks to record an album of Gregorian chants.

The adverts, running from Sunday onwards, read: "Attention: plainchant singers from all religious orders. World's leading record company seeking monks, men of the cloth and sacred singers for a unique recording contract."

The adverts will be published in The Catholic Times, The Church Times, The Catholic Herald, The Tablet and The Universe among others.

Here's Gregorian Masters Of Chant performing REM's 'Losing My Religion.'



And here's their version of Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven.
