Jon McClure, frontman of top 10 charting band Reverend & the Makers, surprised gig goers at Metronome in Nottingham last Friday 19th May by going on stage to perform his biggest hit ‘Heavyweight Champion of the World’ with up & comers, The Chase.
McClure first approached The Chase when he saw they were following in his footsteps and performing in fans’ living rooms. “Thinking of new ways to promote our music and give back to fans, house shows gets us directly in front of fans in an intimate location for them and their friends. Jon inspired us to do this and when he reached out we couldn’t believe it,” said The Chase frontman & guitar Tyler.
“We’ve been fans of Reverend & The Makers since we were kids, they were one of the first bands we saw live when we were about 12 years old, back in 2009 at Heaton Park when they were supporting Oasis. We had to have the day off primary school to go to the gig!” said drummerDion.
Safe to say the atmosphere in the sold-out show at Metronome was electric throughout the band’s hour long headline set, as they performed tracks from their latest EP, Bonzo Bonanza, and fan favourites from their debut EP, Not The F*cking Game Show.
