Reverend And The Makers Guitarist Quits

• 10th Jan 2009

Reverend And The Makers guitarist Tom Jarvis has quit the band, it has been announced. Frontman Jon McClure told the NME, quite simply, that he had decided to leave the band because he'd “had enough”. He will be replaced by Milburn guitarist Tom Rowley.

McClure said: “It's a shame because [Jarvis's] guitars are mental on the new record. But now Tom Rowley is joining – he is cool, and in lots of ways one of the guys who got the whole Sheffield scene started. People have love in their hearts for him up north, and me and him together have something amazing. I want to get on album three straight away as he's a genius”.
