Be in a music video

“We met at London Victoria at about 4.30pm and somehow managed to make it over to Earls Court by 5pm (ish), where we were greeted by the production team and huddled off into an underground car park. For the next couple of hours there was lots of shuffling about, singing the chorus to their hit ‘My Friends’ over and over again until around 8pm when the band finally appeared!! [...] From that moment on the poor boyfriend I was with at the time, didn’t get a look in as I turned into some sort of crazed super fan, jumping around, flailing my arms in the air, holding back the urge to shout ‘MARRY ME KELLY!’ at the top of my voice, whilst also trying to portray some form of cool, rockstar-esque misdemeanour – I was in a music video after all!”

“I took an Uber and arrived at 5:35pm. I walked in the same time as other participants. As we got into the room, there was clearly a disturbance of sorts. The lady who owned the place seemed pissed and was talking to some members about drums. Apparently, no drumming is allowed [...] They ended up finding a venue available the same night just a few minutes away….but it wouldn’t be available until 8pm. Thankfully, there was a bar next door to the other venue and they were okay with us chilling there in the meantime. So we all packed up and headed over [...] But yeah, it was cool having such an opportunity, seeing what goes on behind the scenes [...] While I know most MVs are pre-recorded, I would have thought one with that kinda set up with mics, amps, and instruments was actually recorded live.”
