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.
