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.

Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
Oliver, Young Knives: ilikemusic because... It evokes a mood and a feeling of when you last heard the track.
Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
