'Reverend and the Makers' is the brain child of Sheffield's Reverend A.K.A Jon McClure. The band are an Indie Funk Electro band based in Sheffield, England and signed torecord label Wall of Sound.In April 2006, Reverend and the Makers were support to the Arctic Monkeys on their sell-out UK tour (same management), exposing the band to larger audiences and bigger venues. This was followed by their own first UK tour in May and June, selling-out dates in Shoreditch (London) and The Plug in home-town Sheffield on the final night. A second tour followed in October 2006, showing great progression as a band. The sound was much tighter and far more advanced than on their previous tour. Jarvis had given a lot more strength to the guitar element and was certainly a catalyst in the progression of the band.
