A NIGHT of music, comedy, and stories is coming to Blackwood Miners' Institute next month to encourage men to be more open about their mental health.

The We Are What We Overcome project, which has been inspired by Matt McGuinness' own mental health struggles, is touring across Wales and England in September, October, and November.

It will be in Blackwood from 7.30pm on Thursday, September 14.

The tour follows the release of Matt's album, book and monthly podcast, which all focus on mental health.

Caerphilly-based social enterprise RecRock, which runs music activities across Caerphilly County Borough, will be involved with the event in Blackwood.
