Reds & Blues (The Ballad of Dixie & Kenny)

Friday 01 October 2010

Bananafish Management today started with a huge PR campaign that will run throughout the region for the superb upcoming feature film, Reds & Blues (The Ballad of Dixie & Kenny).

After the huge success of the football comedy movie, Fifteen Minutes That Shook the World, Miracle Productions UK has recently finished filming a new movie which embraces both the red and blue halves of the city.

The original film, released in December 2009, went on to scoop Comedy and Entertainment Awards at the Berlin and New York Soccer film festivals.

Written by the same author, successful Liverpool playwright, Dave Kirby, the new film, Reds & Blues (The Ballad of Dixie & Kenny) revolves around a crazy Evertonian family who just happen to live next door to a family of crazy Liverpudlians.

The tale begins when, Dixie (Paul Duckworth) an obsessed, rabid blue arrives at his fanatical Evertonian sister’s house. Unbeknown to the blues, their red neighbours headed by Kenny (Andrew ‘Scully’ Schofield) are planning a European Cup celebration garden party to the horror of Dixie who becomes hell-bent on ruining the occasion. The ridicule and wind-ups are endless as the flak is fired from both sides of the dividing fence which becomes similar to a World War 1 no-man’s-land trench. In between the onslaught are cameos from ex-Liverpool and Everton players including Howard Kendall as the ‘Blue Bishop’ and Ian St John as the ‘Red Saint’. Original songs from Dixie & Gwladys (Lindzi Germain) in the Everton pub and from Kenny and his wife Annie (Lynn Francis) make this a Red and Blue comedy musical fest. Other red & blue cameos include, Phil Thompson, Alan Kennedy, John Aldridge, Jimmy Case, Tommy Smith, Mark Ward, Stuart Barlow, Graham Stuart and Derek Mountield.
