The song ‘The Works is closing down’ was created as part of the ‘Made of Steel’ project. It is one of five songs that Creative practitioner
Tom Kelly wrote with musician Ian Ravenscroft.
The songs are based upon the stories collected from the drop-in sessions and interviews from members of the community throughout the project.
