Line of Duty star Vicky McClure's viral Day Fever 'nightclub' for over 30s

Transcript

00:00 Okay, so Johnny and Vicky, a nightclub in the afternoon for over 30s, that's the basis

00:06 of this idea. What is it all about? How did it start and what's it been so far?

00:11 Well, it was kind of my idea at first. I've been going on about it for ages, haven't I?

00:16 And people weren't listening. I think they thought it was mad, but I just had this idea

00:19 that I wanted to do what I wanted to do and what my mates like to do on an afternoon,

00:23 you know, especially on the weekend. Have a few pints, dance to some music, maybe get

00:27 a bit of food and be home in time for, you know, dancing on ice or match of the day.

00:32 But I took it to some lads, Jimmy O'Hara, who's the co-founder of Tramlines in Sheffield,

00:36 Johnny McClure and his brother Chris. Johnny, of course, is the lead singer of Reverend

00:40 of the Makers. And they really liked the idea. And they were the ones who said, look, let's

00:43 try it in Sheffield. We know the perfect venue, you know, the old town hall in the middle

00:48 of Sheffield itself. Let's give it a go. And then we put tickets on sale, hoping we could

00:52 sell a few. And they all sold out within like 48 hours. So we were like, oh, hang on, there's

00:57 something up here. We might have thought, well, we did think it might have been a Christmas

01:01 fluke, but it turned out it wasn't. We tried again in January, tried all over the country.

01:05 The tickets are selling out straight away. So here we are now with, I think it's seven

01:09 cities, another one to be announced this week, another one next week. So the plan is to get

01:14 10 cities up and running if we can.
