Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music
ILM: You've played a few dates recently from Dublin and Belfast to Manchester … any amusing anecdotes or standout moments you can share?
JON: Yes, very much so. We played Dublin which just went off and we met all these people and ended up having this lock in this Irish pub. Then we played Belfast. We were just about to set off, and we get a knock on the van door, so we open it and this guy says,
"Hiya I'm so-and-so and I'm from Sinn Fein, would you like to come to Stormont to meet Gerry Adams tomorrow. It's like freedom fighter music your music. Gerry would like to meet you."
And I was like, What? That's mental. I'm 26 and grew up in the 80s and I just remember being a kid when they blacked him out on the news and stuff and they used to morph his voice. It's really weird now that he's heard our music and that he wanted to meet me… so I thought, 'man, that's pretty mad.'
