A special gig in loving memory of Darren ‘Wiz’ Brown (pictured above), 1962-2006, frontman of Farnborough legends Mega City 4, who toured the world several times over, released 8 albums, played and sung to hundreds of thousands, but never lost their punk roots.
Wiz’s lyrics spoke for a generation of awkward kids, allowing for a hardcore following that remains today. All profits from this event go to the Forward 4 Wiz Trust. F4WT was set up with new bands in mind and exists to provide advice and support to bands and individual artists, by way of mentoring and training and some financial contribution where it’s needed most.
