Liverpudlian neo-psychedelia pioneers will reform for their '30th Anniversary Tour' (1981-2011) in spring 2011 visiting Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and London.
The Icicle Works rose to fame in 1983 when they scored two major hit singles 'Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)' (Top forty US) and 'Love is a Wonderful Colour' (Top twenty UK). Their eponymously self titled debut album was also a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, achieving gold record status in Canada. The Icicle Works released four albums between 1983 - 1988, all achieving top forty placing, until they broke up immediately after their swansong 'Blind'.
The other two members of the band were Chris Layhe (bass & vocals) and Chris Sharrock (drums), the latter enjoyed great success playing in Oasis. Ian went on to record one more album under the name The Icicle
Works, signing to Epic in 1989 and using session musicians in place of the now departed Chris's. Permanent Damage was released in March 1990. More recently in autumn 2006 Ian McNabb resurrected The Icicle
Works for a sold-out 25th Anniversary tour.
Solo, Ian has had released numerous critically acclaimed albums and released autobiography 'Merseybeast' in October 2008 and was greeted with great acclaim from both critics and fans. Ian spent January through June of 2009 recording his new album 'Great Things' which is out now.
