Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie

Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie was a late 1980s and early 1990s band which hailed from Edinburgh. It featured Martin Metcalfe as lead vocalist, John Duncan on guitar, Rona Scobie on keyboards, Fin Wilson on bass guitar, Derek Kelly on the drums and most notably, Shirley Manson as a keyboard player and background vocalist. Wilson, Kelly, Metcalfe and Manson would form Angelfish in 1993 in order to fulfill a contractual obligation to Radioactive Records. Metcalfe, Kelly & Wilson continued to play intermittently throughout the 90's under names such as The Filthy Tongues and Fishhead, but have now re-appeared with a new band.....Isa & the Filthy Tongues. They were named as the best unsigned band by Rob da Bank on BBC Radio 1 in April 2005.
