McClure, widely known for playing Detective Inspector Kate Fleming in Line of Duty, has always worn her musical roots proudly.
A Nottingham native, she’s been a vocal supporter of UK indie music for years - but this marks the first time she’s lent her voice to a professional track with a major band.
Reverend and the Makers, fronted by Jon McClure (no relation), have built a loyal following for their infectious, politically charged indie anthems.
Adding Vicky McClure to their new material is a curveball few saw coming, but one fans are eager to hear.
- The collab: McClure will feature vocally on the band’s upcoming single.
- The reveal: Reverend and the Makers shared the news via their official social channels.
- McClure’s musical side: While best known for her acting, McClure has long been immersed in the UK music scene.
Supporters of both the band and McClure have been lighting up social media, praising the surprise collaboration and speculating about the song’s sound. With Reverend and the Makers known for their genre-blending, guitar-driven tracks, and McClure’s distinct Nottingham edge, expectations are high.
