The California Schemin' director said: 'We basically put on a gig and the guys in the movie performed as if they were doing a gig. 'Glasgow showed up, we didn't pay them, and gave us a real, big movie ending. They gave everything, it was amazing, I felt so proud.' McAvoy told the Liverpool Comic Con convention: 'There's a thing people in Glasgow do when they go to a gig, they shout, 'Here we, here we, here we f* go!'. So we have Glasgow in the film doing that.' Bain and Boyd, played by Séamus McLean Ross and Samuel Bottomley, reinvented themselves as hip-hop act Silibil N' Brains after being mocked for their Scottish accents at a US audition. They then landed a record deal, appeared on MTV and supported Eminem.

City venue says 'thank you for everything' in 'heartbreaking' post
A city centre food vendor has delivered some 'heartbreaking' news as it announced its closure. The Baltic Market took to social media to announce that Richie's would be leaving the food court very soon. Richie's has been at the Baltic Triangle premises for a number of years now. It serves everything from cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets to loaded fries and hotdogs. However, this will no longer be the case from next week as the company said it is ready for a 'new chapter'.

Richie's will be leaving us next week. 'After an unforgettable run with our very own concept, it's time to pass the torch. We're making way for a brand-new trader to join us and serve up some next-level scran that we know will blow you away. 'We've been beyond lucky to have such a creative, passionate team behind Richie's! Who remembers the Cheetos mozzarella stick? Iconic 'While Richie may return in one form or another in the future, we're closing the burger chapter and bringing you something completely fresh. Massive love to every team member, past and present. You're all absolute legends.' Worker Anthony Ricardo previously told the ECHO that even though the Baltic Market can be 'crazy', the venue's atmosphere made it all 'worthwhile'. He said: 'It's boss. Baltic Market is one big family and like being with all your mates in one place on the daily.' It comes just weeks after The Baltic Market announced it would be opening a new food hall miles away from Merseyside. Named St Paul's Market and located in Birmingham, the company hopes it will be 'the best in the UK.' It is a joint venture with Independent Birmingham, and street food restaurant Buddha Belly also being involved. The upcoming venue occupies a 10,000-square-foot warehouse on Birmingham's Mary Anne Street, just off Saint Paul's Square in the Jewellery Quarter. The team has signed a 15 year lease, with the opening more than 11 years in the making.
