Dutch Uncles will premiere their new album at a non-league football game

Dutch Uncles have announced they will be airing their new album ‘O Shudder’ at a football match in Manchester. The quarter final fixture in The MEN United Cup between West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC versus Bootle FC takes place this Saturday (14th February), with the world premiere taking place at The Recreation Ground, Chorlton.

Dutch Uncles member Andy Proudfoot said on the team’s official website:

“Between all five members we support three different football team; Stockport County, Manchester United and Manchester City. This season we’ve adopted our local amateur team so we can call cheer on the same side every Saturday without breaking out into any arguments. It’s started to become a regular pilgrimage for all of us and we thought it would be fun to mark the release of our new album by sponsoring their biggest match ever… a quarter final cup tie against Bootle.”

Frontman Duncan Wallis added: “We’re banking on a West Didsbury & Chorlton win or it could make the whole post-match album premier thing a little bitter-sweet. Celebrations and commiseration aside, we wanted to mark the occasion with a bit of fun and hopefully help the team win over some new fans… and maybe vice versa.”

The match kicks off at 3pm with the home side set to enter the pitch to the group’s music. Dutch Uncles will then take part in a penalty shoot-out at half time, before airing ‘O Shudder’ over the tannoy after the full time whistle.
