About Goodbye Mr Mackenzie
Goodbye Mr Mackenzie emerged from Edinburgh with Martin Metcalfe on vocals alongside a line-up that included John Duncan, Shirley Manson, Rona Scobie, Fin Wilson and Derek Kelly. Their music combined forceful guitars, keyboards, ensemble voices and a dark theatrical streak that gave the band a distinctive place in Scottish alternative rock.

The group’s history also connects directly to Angelfish and The Filthy Tongues, while Manson later became the singer of Garbage. Goodbye Mr Mackenzie subsequently reunited for live work, bringing songs such as “The Rattler”, “Goodwill City”, “Normal Boy” and “Hard” back to the stage.
