The Bungalow have a charity event tonight, Friday 8 August, raising funds and awareness of men’s mental health, Brothers in Arms and Paisley’s Men’s Shed.
The night features four live acts: MrdB, Redbricktent, Stevie Hillcoat Band and The Droogs.
Brothers in Arms is a Scottish charity that supports men’s mental and emotional wellbeing. Its mission addresses a challenge affecting families globally, and the purpose of a Men’s Shed is to provide a community space for men to connect, converse, and create, often through practical activities like woodworking, metalworking, or other hobbies. It’s a place to reduce loneliness and isolation. Support these two great charities by buying a ticket at only £10 for a night packed with music. Doors open at 7.00pm.
