Massive Wagons
Massive Wagons will be on tour in the UK in November and two shows in Ireland in December!
The band – who will be supported by Florence Black – will be taking men’s suicide prevention charity Andy’s Men’s Club on the road with them, helping to spread the word about the charity’s work and reach more people who may need support.
There will be a stall in each venue with representatives from the Andy’s Men’s Club groups in the area on hand with wristbands and information about the clubs in their areas. The band will also speak about the charity on stage and an interactive installation for attendees to get involved with.
Guitarist Adam Thistlethwaite said: “We couldn’t be more onboard with what Andy’s Man Club stand for and their message. Their team are lovely people and it’s a real bonus for us to spread their word along with our music. It can be hard for anyone to admit they are having a difficult time, but focusing on breaking down the social and mental blocks that make it especially difficult for some men to come forward, that has been sorely needed and is highly commendable. I just hope that our involvement with Andy’s Man Club further spreads this message and encourages more people to take that first step, and speaking from personal experience it really does help.”
