A bar has offered the former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg a job as a DJ.

The ex-Liberal Democrat leader lost his Sheffield Hallam seat in last week's general election to Labour's Jared O'Mara.

O'Mara is the co-founder of local bar West Street Live, and used to DJ there twice a week.

Now its owners have offered Nick Clegg the chance to fill his shoes and put on a night called "Cleggers Plays Pop".

In one of the biggest upsets of the election, Nick Clegg came away with 2,000 fewer votes than Jared O'Mara - in the seat he'd held since 2005.

So the job offer could be perfect timing.

"We want him to put on a student night," West Street Live owner Tam Ali has told Newsbeat. "I heard he's popular with them so I think it would make a great job for him to come into.

"Part of Jared's skill set is that he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of pop music. Mainly old school pop - and he has an affinity for boy bands.

"I'd hope Nick Clegg would play pop too. I would imagine he's kept abreast of the latest music and I'm sure he partied away in his student days."

The offer was made on the bar's official Facebook page. Tam Ali says although he's had no response yet, he's pretty sure Nick Clegg has seen it.

"I think his director of communications has been tagged in the post so I'm sure he's aware of it at some level.

"It's all good humoured. We're just extending our West Street Live family and he can come on board and be part of it if he wants."

Newsbeat has been shown some of Jared's old setlists, which Tam says he'd like Nick Clegg to replicate.

As well as Tupac and Kanye West, the likes of Vengaboys, Britney Spears and Chef from South Park all feature heavily.

But not all students think it's a good move.

Neil Hargreave commented: "He might need help learning how to DJ and someone to teach him. You'd have to charge him tuition fees for this. It's only fair really".

Abi Nielson added: "Careful though, he'll only turn up to 31% of his gigs, and even then he probably won't play what he said he'd play".

As well as DJing at the bar, Jared O'Mara is a disability rights campaigner, who has cerebral palsy.

"To be honest the result still hasn't sunk in yet," Tam Ali says.

"Jared is one of my oldest friends. I've known him since we were kids and now he's an MP. It's crazy, but it's great. He'll be really good for Sheffield Hallam."
