Every drummer dreams of getting their big break, and Tuesday 23 October could prove the perfect opportunity for youth drum group Groove Attack. Tune into Channel 4 at 5pm to catch them doing their thing on the Paul O' Grady show!

Groove Attack consists of students of drum teacher Mark Sevel, ranging from eight to 17 years old. As well as using conventional drums and drum kits, they dabble with electronic drums, Indian tablas and even the odd dustbin! To get a taste of what their show is like, click HERE to catch them in rehearsals. Paul O'Grady's producers saw the video and were so impressed they asked them to appear on the show!
