The Late Late Toy Show is about to go off with a bang!

A group of Galway drummers are performing on this year's highly-anticipated show.

The Drumadoir Drummers hail from Headford and are aged 11 to 16.

Garry and Fionnuala caught up with their teacher, Éimhín Cradock, to find out what all the noise is about.

Éimhín, a former drummer with The Saw Doctors, explained how the Drumadoir Drummers landed the Toy Show gig:

"We play all the Connacht home games, so that would have really been the start of the process for us. Without that, I doubt we would ever have got on it."

"But eventually, all we did in the end was video ourselves doing our thing and then you just wait to hear back. You get the call back, and they called us down to Limerick to audition. We got on a bus and we auditioned for ten minutes and we heard back a couple of weeks later."

Éimhín couldn't give away too much about his group's performance tonight but he did reveal that some of the parents cried at the dress rehearsal.

Listen to the full interview below.
