More For Wiz is a charity event to raise money for the Forward for Wiz Trust, set up after the sad & untimely death of former Mega City Four singer Darren 'Wiz' Brown. The charity helps bands and musical projects in deprived areas to realise hopes and musical ambitions. The bands playing are : Mega City Four + special guests; The Seers, original line up playing their first and only gig in 16 years before riding back off into the sunset and Midway Still, longtime friends of the Megas. This gig will evoke memories of the late 80's & early 90's for people who liked their guitars cranked up to 11 and is especially poignant as both headline bands played together many times with the Xmas gig @ the Bierkeller becoming a local tradition. Come one & all to celebrate the life of Darren 'Wiz' Brown and have your head blown off by three legendary bands from back in the day.
