Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday to our Under the Mud bus day event at Liverpool One. Songs were sang, autographed posters were handed out and there was free face-painting for kids (and for some of our “Mud” team!)
We got to meet lots of lovely people as we spread the message about our film. BBC Radio Merseyside was there to interview our cast and writers for the Billy Butler show, and we’ll be putting excerpts from the show online. For now, check out the photos that we got of the event, over at our Flickr account.
Ready for a day out? Our Under the Mud bus will be parking all day Saturday, right in the middle of Liverpool One!
Our beautiful No.86 will be sitting in the space between Waterstones and John Lewis, and we’ll be there with it, ready for a day full of fun. Radio Merseyside will be broadcasting us live from 10 am, interviewing the Mud team and any members of the public who are lucky enough to be there witnessing all our hoopla. Throughout the day there will be cast and crew members greeting passersby, having their pictures taken and signing posters of Under the Mud. We’ll also be publicising our film in the spirit in which it was made, taking along our video camera and asking you the public to share your best stories and memories of Liverpool with the world.
The Under the Mud bus wrap has been completed, and we’re on the number 86 running from the city centre to Garston.
As you can see, it’s looking fantastic, so thanks to all the supporters of the film for helping us get to this point. We knew this would help get the word out in style, but seeing the end product has taken our breath away.
We’re so excited! You can order the Under The Mud DVD today from this very website, or get it from your local HMV or Borders, and even Asda stores on Merseyside.
It really is all systems go on release day: there’s a piece about us due in Liverpool Echo this week, and Roy Boulter (Producer), Adam Bailey (”Karl Potts”) and Mick Colligan (writer /”DJ Worm”) have been interviewed for Radio Four’s Upfront show to be broadcast tonight at 17.55.
There’s also a Radio Merseyside interview on Thursday at 5.30 – and don’t forget to check out our fun radio ad with Ricky Tomlinson if you haven’t already!
Ok, maybe our American backers and fans won’t realise quite how hilarious that catchphrase-invoking title really is. But trust us – it’s great
Earlier this week legendary Liverpool actor Ricky Tomlinson kindly donated his time to record a radio advert for Under The Mud, which you can listen courtesy of Soundcloud.
Ricky’s always been a big supporter of the film, first meeting the writers at a London film event, when the script was still being written. Ricky’s delighted that the film is finally being released on DVD – and said how much he enjoyed watching the film again. He also loved the extras DVD, which he hadn’t seen before.
