Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie began 2019 with a little plan to put together a one-off gig to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Good Deeds and Dirty Rags, and finish it up with a sold out show at the legendary Barrowlands Ballroom in Glasgow. Before that, there is the not insignificant matter of a warm-up show at the first venue to witness the miracle that was the reformed band in full power ahead of sell-out shows in Edinburgh and Glasgow. I don't think anyone would deny what a year it has been for the band and that the shows have had a massive impact on jubilant audiences who thought they would never see the band again.

So, what a better way to celebrate the upcoming festive period and, if you are lucky enough to own a ticket for the forthcoming Barras show, to prepare for that, by getting up close and personal with Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie in a small venue? The first show was a cracker and an immensely special moment for the promoters, band and, above all, the audience. And you don't have to trust us on that, Vive Le Rock's Callum Harvie described the show in a review in glowing terms:

If there were nerves beforehand, the band don't let it show. Launching straight into the glorious 'Open Your Arms', frontman Martin Metcalfe is immediately into his stride, leading the crowd with a preacher-like presence. The debut album is played from start to end the crowd singing along throughout, embracing every word for word. Sure, there are a couple of glitches, but nobody cares. What matters is that one of Scotland's most underrated bands is back and, by tonight's showing, as vibrant, dynamic and anthemic as ever.

Tickets are available price £16.00 in person from Groucho's and online from We Got Tickets and Tickets Scotland. This is subject to the standard booking fee.
