The Timahoe Male Choir will feature in RTÉ's Ear to the Ground tonight on RTÉ.
This is not the first time that the Laois choir have graced the small screen, having featured on The 2 Johnnies Late Night Lock In last October.
Watch a sneak peek of the episode below:

The 48 strong community choir were quickly thrown into the spotlight, having only formed last year. The men have taken to stages across the country, drawing massive crowds.
The Laois Choir will feature alongside a Louth family business that produces Italian gelato, and presenter Ella McSweeney is on the hunt to witness a stunning murmuration of starlings in County Westmeath.
Originally formed in November of last year, the Timahoe Male Choir stemmed from casual sing-alongs locally, where the group's talent was discovered during last year's carol service.
At the 2024 Electric Picnic, the choir drew a record crowd to the Hazelwood stage.
This year, the choir will hold their sold-out Christmas Carol Service in Kavanagh's Bar and Venue on Friday December 27.
