In Loving memory of Darren 'Wiz' Brown, memorial gig to be held 16th January 2016 in Farnborough....

 

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.


DEADCUTS

Deadcuts feature Mark Keds, formerly of Senseless Things along with Mark McCarthy from The Wonder Stuff. The Senseless Things were close friends and touring partners of MC4 from the late 80s to mid 90s.

 

 

 

I PLEAD IRONY
