Watch as sixth class students perform Metallica classic Nothing Else Matters ahead of Slane Castle concert

A group of sixth class students have performed their cover of the Metallica classic Nothing Else Matters ahead of the band's concert at Slane Castle.

Kevin Fagan, sixth class teacher in Slane National school, sent in a video of his students working together to cover an incredible rendition of the hit track.

Kevin told the Irish Mirror: "I'm blessed to have a very musical bunch in my class this year and we've been undertaking a few musical projects this year.

"Ahead of Metallica's gig at Slane Castle on June 8, we decided to pay tribute to the Rock Gods by recording our own version of Nothing Else Matters in my class.

"All instrumentation is by the kids, and all vocals. We stayed in at lunch times learning music, vocal lines and harmonies and set up a recording studio in our classroom."

The school group are now looking to grab the attention Metallica, and are hoping they will eventually see their video.

It is fair to say that they did an amazing job and are an extremely talented bunch of school-kids.

Congratulations to all involved.
