Jon McClure hits out at critic over peace sign row

Watch Reverend exclusive acoustic session on NME.COM

Jon McClure, a.k.a The Reverend from Reverend And The Makers, has hit out at a critic who labelled his peace sign at this year's Glastonbury 'crass'.

At an exclusive backstage acoustic set with NME.COM at T In The Park, the Sheffield-based singer took issue with an NME review of his set at Glastonbury

"To the person who wrote that it were crass for me to put a peace sign up and get 3,000 other people to do likewise - if it’s crass to ask for peace at a time when we're at war on two fronts you are seriously fucked up bruv," he said before playing a new song.
