Good news, Reverend and The Makers fans, Gigwise have a brand new and exclusive live video of your favourite band performing their top 10 hit, 'Heavyweight Champion of The World' - check it out below.
If you've been enjoying the new album Mirrors, be sure to travel back in time and check out the full-band performance of the ultimate Reverend single.
The band has been championed for nearly a decade by everyone from Zane Lowe to The Libertines' Carl Barat - in case you didn't believe us check out Noel Gallagher's testimony about the new record: "So I’m listening to Mirrors for the first time and I’m about 15 minutes in when it dawns on me that this is like something that sounds like nothing I’ve heard since the great concept albums of the 60’s"
The beautifully shot video features a full band pressed up against the wall with frontman Jon 'The Reverend' McClure towering over the bobbling heads of the audience. The live video captures the intimate and close-quarters essence of the performance.
