Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music
I like to go out on the streets every night after gigs with my guitar. We stopped a bit of traffic in the middle of Belfast and it obviously caused a bit of a stir. But I like to go outside with people, because a lot of bands talk about being for the people but actually after gigs they'll be sat in their dressing room doing coke and sipping mojitos, listening to people blowing smoke up their arses, whereas, I'm on the street every time…
ILM: Well, you do write music that is genuinely for the people.
JON: Yeah and I think you can either pay lip service to that or you can be genuine. I think the fact that we go out there… if I do an interview for instance, because I'm quite an opinionated person, and if someone looks at what I'm saying in an interview and takes umbridge with it they can come and discuss it with me, I'm not hiding from anyone. There'll be 2000 people at the Manchester Ritz and I'll still be like that. I think that's important, because how can you write songs about people, for people unless you mix with real people?

Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
Aaron, The Delays: ilikemusic because... It makes everything seem like an incredible film. And it does - it actually does! hahaha! I told the truth and everything....hahaha!
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
James Blunt: ilikemusic because... conversation is so limited. It’s the best form of expression we have.
