What's on in Wigan

Mistrust’s music has been described as “synth pop that will put a smile in your heart” (Neil March/Trust the Doc)

In the 1980’s Mistrust wrote and recorded songs in his bedroom using an old synth and drum machine. He dreamed of performing his songs live on stage and having his music on sale in record stores. After several years away from making music, and in his late 50s, Mistrust started playing live in early 2023, and his CDs are now on sale in HMV stores in the UK.

Now, Mistrust brings his headline show to The Old Courts Holding Cell as part of Nowt Without Artists, our series of gigs platforming quality, grassroots talent in headline slots.
