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.
Just a quick shout-out to you with some exciting Under The Mud news – the film’s producer Roy Boulter (pictured with High School Musical star Zac Efron!) is going to be guest on a couple of radio shows talking about Under The Mud.
The day before the film’s release, Sunday 1st November, he’ll be chatting to Pete Price on his show, which’ll be broadcast across sister stations City Talk 105.9 and Radio City 96.7.
On the release day itself (Monday 2nd November) he’ll be on City Talk’s Take 5 show, choosing some of his favourite records.
Thanks to all our backers word is spreading, and we know these radio slots are going to a great help in edging us ever-closer towards our goal! Exciting…
“Two words and the second one is Brilliant! I just had the weekend from Hell and it cheered me up no end!”
We’re chuffed to have just received the above endorsement and some words of encouragement from Liverpool football stadium announcer George Sephton (pictured below). What’s more, he’s even going to play some tunes from the Under The Mud soundtrack and give us a shout-out at the next few home games, helping to further spread the word – thanks George!
And that’s not the only exciting news we’ve had recently – it’s now official that Under The Mud is going to be available for download from iTunes from 2nd November. Under The Mud HQ is also currently packed to the rafters with boxes of hot-off-the-press shiny new DVDs, each complete with an hour of extras, and these are going to be available to buy in HMV and Borders from the November release date too.
Be quick though…a little bird tells us that some local radio DJs are going to be getting involved with our campaign next week, so make sure you get the credit for discovering us before everyone knows!
Wow, we only launched our Kickstarter campaign on Friday and already we’re the best part of $400 closer to our goal of getting enough money to spread the word about Under The Mud by painting a Liverpool bus.
Thanks so much to all backers so far – we couldn’t be more excited about this and we’re shouting it from the rooftops. We will of course be making regular updates to keep you informed both here and via Kickstarter, but if you want to hear from us via another medium (or just can’t get enough of Under The Mud!), you can:
Also – we really appreciate everyone that’s tweeted about Under The Mud. It’s so lovely that people are helping the film get the attention it deserves, so if you’re big on Twitter, or you just think your Mum/mate/colleague/dentist/whatever might be into what we’re doing, please do spread the word!
We’ll be back with more of an update soon (some exciting things going on here in Liverpool!), but that’s it from us for the time being. Onwards!
