On Friday 2nd February, Dowhigh were invited to the unveiling of a new mural at Salt and Tar of Red Rum Club, painted by Paul Curtis Artwork.
Salt and Tar is becoming one of the hottest new venues for live music, comedy and out door events in the area, with gigs announced for Tom Jones and Status Quo for August as well as the return of the Comedy Weekender at the end of May.
Red Rum Club, who recently filmed their latest video for “Hole In My Home” right here in Bootle were the headline performers at the inaugural weekender in July 2023 – and are well known for their songs Vibrate, Eleanor and Vanilla amongst others. Their new album “Western Approaches” is released on the 23rd February.
Sefton Council announced recently a partnership with the group, making them brand ambassadors of the outdoor venue, and the mural unveiling was made in connection with this release.
The mural was painted by Paul Curtis who has also completed works across the North West, most notably the largest mural completed by one person at Toad Hall in Birkdale.
The event was attended by Bootle MP Peter Dowd and the new Sefton Council leader Marion Atkinson.
Trevor Murray (Director) and Owen Lea-Porter (Digital Manager) both attended the event on behalf of Dowhigh, who provided the cherry picker which Paul used to complete the mural.
“It’s great to see the regeneration happening right here in Bootle and the creation of such a great outdoor space for events such as the ones booked in for this year. As a company based right on the door step, we were pleased to play our part when asked if we could help. Salt and Tar will be a great asset to the borough and we’re pleased to be working with Sefton Council as well as our friends Bren and Val Riley for the comedy festival which is happening in May.
The mural is a fantastic addition to the area and one that will commemorate the official opening of Salt and Tar, and also to highlight the part that Red Rum Club are playing in leading Liverpool Music.”
