Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music
ILM: No good at all. At least she's your missus and nobody else's and she's great on the keyboards too.
JON: She is yeah, bless her.
ILM: So you're playing a one-off hometown gig to launch new live concert venue Carling Academy Sheffield - you must be excited about that…?
JON: It's gonna be good, I can't wait because the Roxy was always a bit of a landmark in Sheffield, a notoriously terrible club and a really ugly 70s socialist experiment of making this complex that has failed and is falling down and stuff. Sheffield could do with a venue of the size really, because there's nothing similar. It's a privilege to be asked to open it.
I take the Sheffield thing quite seriously, because everyone else who's had any success in music, with the exception of Richard Hawley has left now, Alex (Arctic Monkeys) has just moved to London. I have an affection for Sheffield. It definitely informs what I do and the way I think and stuff. There's a certain cynicism in coming from Sheffield, because of the fact that we got a bit shat on in the 80s by Maggie Thatcher and it created this kind of sarcastic vent to lyrics, like Jarvis Cocker, so it definitely informs the lyrical thing.

Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
James Blunt: ilikemusic because... conversation is so limited. It’s the best form of expression we have.
David Jordan: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel good and it puts me in a happy mood.
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.
Alfonso, The Hoosiers: ilikemusic because... Because, because, because, because, because of the wonderful things he does… I’m off to see the wizard…[singing] the wonderful wizard of oz…
MARS: ilikemusic because... tom kelly is a great producer and Mark Angelo Studios in London is the best place to record your record!
Peter Cincotti: ilikemusic because... Of what the world would be without it. It’d be a very scary place. I think we’d all be screwed.
