Slow Club have enlisted the help of Mackenzie Crook (AKA Gareth from The Office) to star in the video for debut album track ‘Giving Up On Love’.
The Sheffield duo of Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor released their debut album ‘Yeah, So’ last year but have finally enlisted the help of Mackenzie to give the upbeat track a purposely sombre video. Here’s how it all came about from Rebecca’s point of view (via DIY);
“Lucy Needs, the director, had the idea for the video, all we needed was the person. Having seen ‘Jerusalem’ on the West End we agreed Mackenzie was perfect. So we sat and wrote a letter, edited out the bits where we were trying to be funny and left it at stage door, along with a copy of the album and our numbers. And he called me back and said he really liked the song and was up for it. Totally in love with him now, he is the best.”
