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.
