Wiz RIP

I was very sad to hear this news.

I'm pretty sure I've seen them twice - I can definitely remember a gig they did at Hollywood's in Romford (horrible "disco" behind the railway station recently and thankfully reduced to rubble by bulldozers) and I think I saw them supporting PWEI at Brixton. I certainly bought a MC4 T-shirt at that gig.

By way of my own tribute I have put up two songs for your listening pleasure.
They're the first two of MC4's five occasions when they bothered the charts - Words That Say reached no 66 in October 1991 and Stop made it to the dizzy heights of 36 the following February.
