Now in its ninth instalment, the Macbeth's indie monthly Goodbye, Faithful Kingdom! is gaining a granite reputation for presenting meaningful and progressive underground acts. Headlining tonight is the Hellset Orchestra, a quite-brilliant six-piece from Nottingham that play Freddie Mercury-inspired rock pimped-up with cello, piano, violin and brass. London septet the Monroe Transfer provide a dreamy orchestral foil to all that melodrama with their intricate, reverb-infused sound; while Toyko's Masaaki Yoshida and his Anchorsong project show the compositional possibilities of the humble keyboard and sampler.
