45 Books engages fathers, especially (but not exclusively) single fathers, in Brierley Hill who might not typically engage in arts and culture, through songwriting workshops focused on building creativity, emotional resilience, and community.
Dan Whitehouse and Saif Ali will facilitate workshops to explore themes of masculinity, separation, home, daily practices, and family identity and encourage self-expression and support.
The focus is on developing creative practice, self expression, wellbeing, and identity. No prior musical knowledge is required, and the emphasis is on fun and collaboration.
This is a pilot project which we hope to develop more widely in 2025. We are looking for, ideally, ten men to take part.
