The band elaborate: Guitarist Adam Thistlethwaite states, “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.” Frontman Baz Mills adds, “I really never expected the reaction we got from people for ‘Night Skies’, I mean there is the reaction about the song, which was great!!!…. but then there is the reaction to the message, which was proper overwhelming! The inbox messages we have had, while on one hand are a tough read, on the other hand are people talking, which is the goal isn’t it, to open up, people are opening up, and that really warms my heart, knowing the song and its message have potentially contributed to people’s decision to talk about personal issues that are harming their mental health. While we were pushing all of the mental health lifelines out there, the ones who cater for specific ages, genders, or sexualities, we have had the biggest reaction for the song from men. We have had a lot of personal messages from fellas who are really starting to shake the stigma attached to men speaking about mental health, and that’s why we have teamed up with Andy’s Man Club to take their show on the road with us! There seems to be a real movement in men’s mental health at the moment, and Andy’s Man Club are one of those at the very centre, extremely well organised and motivated to help blokes who just don’t seem to feel like they have anyone to turn to. Please, if you are reading this, or any of the associated press or have seen the video to ‘Night Skies’ and you are feeling mentally overwhelmed, whether you are a bloke, a woman, a child, teenager, OAP, a veteran, or LGBTQ, and feeling under pressure from your mind and are struggling – please reach out to someone, mental health has no agenda or label discrimination, it doesn’t attack people based on age or gender, everyone is susceptible. Don’t suffer in silence… #itsokaytotalk Big love!” Luke, the charity’s North West Area Lead, comments, “Myself and everyone here at ANDYSMANCLUB would like to thank Massive Wagons for collaborating with us and are kind enough to invite us on their UK tour, helping us raise awareness and spread the message that #ITSOKAYTOTALK.
