SCOTTISH actor Martin Compston crowd surfed and partied with around 800 people at a daytime club in Glasgow over the weekend.
The Line of Duty star attended a clubbing event for over 30s created by his co-star Vicky McClure and her husband Jonny Owen.
The first Scottish edition of Day Fever was held at the Barras in Glasgow, with Compston doing a stage dive and being passed over the heads of the crowd.
Day Fever has previously been held in other cities across the UK, including London, Manchester and Sheffield.
Another version will take place in Edinburgh’s O2 Academy on May 26.
McClure said: “There are lots of reasons people don’t want to be out at night. There’s shifts, there’s children, there are so many reasons that day dancing is better for people of a certain age.”

Each event includes local guests from the world of sport and entertainment and McClure arrived with Compston and fellow Line of Duty star Craig Parkinson.
McClure added: “We’ve heard lots of lovely stories. We’ve had people meet new partners at Day Fever, celebrate their birthdays.
“We had one lady, Irene, who celebrated her 80th with us and brought all of her family along.”
McClure’s husband Owen said it was great to see that the event was sold out.
“People are spending money in the middle of the day. That’s been really important for smaller venues like this,” he said.
“It’s a different approach but that’s no bad thing. It’s not a good look for a man of my age to be carrying a kebab through Queen Street at two o’clock in the morning but at seven o’clock I could probably get away with it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
