We want to see Men Talk Music happening in more places, bringing more men together through a shared love of music. If you think your area could use a group, we'd love you to help make it happen. We'll support you every step of the way, so you're never figuring it out alone.
We've built the format to be easy to pick up and run. Everything you need is here to get a group going, keep it running and get the word out.
Running a group does take a bit of time and effort, but it's a chance to bring something you believe in to your local area. You'll help shape the group, choose the themes, get people together and, hopefully, make some new mates along the way.
And you won't be left to figure it all out yourself. We'll give you the format, resources and support you need to get things going and keep them running.
Starting a group comes down to a few things: someone to lead it, a venue and a monthly slot in the diary. Once that's in place, it's fairly straightforward;
Key things to consider are securing a free venue, speakers and a music subscription (e.g. Spotify or Apple Music).
Set a consistent monthly day/time, set the theme, and keep the community connected via WhatsApp.
It's important to build awareness of the group; posters, social media, and word of mouth are all key.
