go - Golang Cast interface to struct

Question

Hi I'm trying to retrieve the function/method of one struct but I'm using an interface as parameter and using this interface I'm trying to access the function of the struct. To demonstrate what I want below is my code

// Here I'm trying to use "GetValue" a function of RedisConnection but since "c" is an interface it doesn't know that I'm trying to access the RedisConnection function. How Do I fix this?
func GetRedisValue(c Connection, key string) (string, error) {
    value, err := c.GetValue(key)

    return value, err
}

// Connection ...
type Connection interface {
    GetClient() (*redis.Client, error)
}

// RedisConnection ...
type RedisConnection struct {}

// NewRedisConnection ...
func NewRedisConnection() Connection {
    return RedisConnection{}
}

// GetClient ...
func (r RedisConnection) GetClient() (*redis.Client, error) {
    redisHost := "localhost"
    redisPort := "6379"

    if os.Getenv("REDIS_HOST") != "" {
        redisHost = os.Getenv("REDIS_HOST")
    }

    if os.Getenv("REDIS_PORT") != "" {
        redisPort = os.Getenv("REDIS_PORT")
    }

    client := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
        Addr:     redisHost + ":" + redisPort,
        Password: "", // no password set
        DB:       0,  // use default DB
    })

    return client, nil
}

// GetValue ...
func (r RedisConnection) GetValue(key string) (string, error) {
    client, e := r.GetClient()
    result, err := client.Ping().Result()
    return result, nil
}
