[Watch] Slow Club - "Beginning" (Official Video)

The duo known as Slow Club are a Sheffield band consisting of Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor and have been working hard for years after releasing a couple of albums. They've just uploaded a brand new video for their new single "Beginning" which stars none other than Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. Daniel himself is a huge fan of the band and agreed to star in the video after meeting the band previously. It sees him get rather drunk off of the ends of peoples pints around London. Not the safest thing to do but the results that come out of it are pretty funny. 

Check it out at the top and for more information on Slow Club head over to their official site
