Seen Reverand and the Makers twice before. At The Big Freeze 2008 and supporting Oasis at Wembley. At their own gig, they were great! High energy performance and great setlist. Jon McClure was his usual brillian self leading what are fast becoming my favourite band! Great at the end when he came into the Crowd! Can't wait till the next show!

I saw them supporting Oasis at Wembley and was massively impressed! I have both albums and would recommend them hugely! Johns "gig" after the gig outside was a brilliant experience and one I wont forget for a long time!
As at Wembley they were fantastic again, full of energy and a thoroughly enjoyable gig! Am looking forward to seeing them again this Sunday supporting Kasabian!

It was my wife and I's first time in Liverpool and Reverend and the Makers made sure it was a memorable one. The venue was great and the crowd were very friendly and up for a good night. They did a fantastic set with the Reverend giving us an excellent recital of a piece of his poetry during the gig. Can't wait to see them again!!

As always, they were amazing with a great selection of songs.
He really knows how to get the crowd going and the place was jumping.
Making some really good points about the disgusting BNP, and got the place cheering.

Overall a good gig, and it continued outside. John grabbed a guitar and found a quiet space at the back of the venue and had a sing a long.

This was the first time I'd seen RATM play and I was blown away! The gig was so upbeat and the atmosphere in the crowd was electric.

The whole night was amazing and I particularly loved Rev's trademark busking outside... the man's a legend!!

A brilliantly euphoric gig from one of the few bands with a genuine social conscience. The important thing was the audience recognised Mclure as one of their own.

Great gig. Two support bands that were both good. The Makers were excellent, the whole thing was very polished. And at the end the Reverend grabbed his guitar and came outside with the crowd for a bit of a sing-along - unbelievable, I think he won himself a few fans then! Great night.

Unbelievably exhausting to see, only because it is impossible to keep still when listening to the music of Reverend and the Makers. Atmosphere was amazing, would see them time and time again. They really perform for the crowd, you feel involved, and John is just so cool!

Great sound, a good mix of first and second album songs.
His energy turns good album tracks into a great live song.
If you like the group you will love them live.

Reverend and The Makers: Northern Soul

Favourite moment: He Said He Loved me being performed @

Posted 06/11/2009

As we gently pushed our way to the front of the crowd, in eager anticipation, my friend and I did not pay much attention to the people standing around us. However, as The Rev and his colleagues proudly came onto the stage, we realised that we were two of only four girls, surrounded by a hoard of excited and eager men.. all much bigger and stronger than us and with a testosterone passion only previously seen on the terraces.

The band were superb and Rev whisked the crowd up into such an excited frenzy that we were carried from side to side with our feet barely touching the floor. However, despite this unexpected tidal wave, we were more than capable of holding our own and joining in with the shouts of delight and choral chants.

The Rev is a man of passion and presence. He towers over the audience with confidence and ease. The songs may seem like rants but when listening to the lyrics I am reminded of the delicacy of his words and the poetry of his thoughts.

This was a maginificent gig and I would see him again and again. This man makes my Southern Soul yearn to be Northern

The worm up was pretty awfull as you could not hear any of the songs, meybe the the mics could have been checked before hand. The venue was a brilliant choice as it was somewhere between intimate and a larg'ish gig and the main event did not disapoint. The band were outstanding tonight and I will def be seing them again soon. They played through all of their hits and were in my ayes flawless in performance tonight. Amazing show and to top it off the lead singer went outside with the crowd and performed an acoustic set in the street for half an hour.

Really impressed!.....bought 3 of my mates to see them......slight disappointment that they seemed to miss playing 2 of my favs from their 1st Album (What the milkman saw & 18-30) !?!?

The end of the concert saw the lead singer grabbing his guitar & seemingly indicating to go outside for an impromtu 'gig'........everybody followed.....but no idea where he disappeared to.....so went back to the pub!....so not quite a Rock & Roll finish......but a happy finish none the less!

Would like to see them get signed up to Festivals.....think they would go down very well....
