It's almost Christmas, so in the spirit of good cheer we popped to Fagan's for a pint with number one chasing musician - and long-suffering Sheffield Wednesday fan - Jon 'Reverend' McClure. He chats on 'All Wednesday' about his Owls hope, loving Barry Bannan, and what the future holds

00:00I do want to talk about your music a little bit, because it's kind of what you do.
00:03You've got a very good Christmas song coming out. I know it's not technically a Christmas song, but
00:08it feels very Christmas-y. It's gone mad online. I've had all these mad people tweeting it. Lucy
00:14Beaumont, the comedian, has started a campaign to make it number one, which is lovely. We're not
00:18going to be number one because there's some heavy hitters involved, but it's great. It's gone like,
00:23I don't know how to say it, viral. It's not a Christmas song, but it's very Christmasy at the
00:27same time. The video we filmed in here, Fagans, and then we also cordoned off a road in Hillsborough,
00:34and we had Jonathan Buttrell, who did that movie and musical, Everybody's Talking About Jamie,
00:38where him and his mate Shiv, who choreographed Hamilton, did this mad Busby-Burtby kind of
00:43musical thing in this terraced street in Hillsborough. They were wild. How nice is that
00:48for you, doing that locally? Do you know what I mean? To get people like that involved. Obviously,
00:54that Jamie was huge. It was huge on the stage. I had been to see it down in London. It was
01:00obviously massive as a film. Getting all these creatives together to do something that you've
01:06put together in your city, it must be... It feels great like that. I've texted Mark Herbert,
01:11who's one of the owners of this Walk Films, who's a legend in his own right, and I'm like,
01:14I want to do this mad video. I've storyboarded it. It's like, you need Jonathan. He put me with
01:18Jonathan, who I know anyway, because I know all his brothers really well. They're all Wednesdayites.
