I saw this band so many times throughout the 80s. They were astonishing live - a complete sweat drenched celebration every time! They would begin with Hollow Horse, which, for a lesser band, would be peaking too early, but they would produce belter after belter. McNabb must be one of the most neglected pop geniuses of that or any other era. I think they were a little out of time and would have been leading lights of Brit-pop a decade later.

Great memories. One of the most under rated bands of the 80s.

To the heroes and heroines struggling against the the numbskulls in Egypt and Syriya. YOU WILL WIN.
You are many. THEY are few!

The tube was so great - Jools still going stronger than ever of course. Icicle Works - sheer genius

@thepurplecockney That's great to hear - I missed on the gigs in April because it was during my university term time, so hopefully I can catch them soon, though I've seen Ian live several times and loved it!

@Criddington I went to a mcnabb solo acoustic show recently(july 2011),a brilliant gig.
When getting a cd signed afterward I asked him if there were anymore icies gigs planned,and He said ''yes,and with the original line up''.I asked what Chris Layhe was doing and Ian said he was a teacher in Stockport
The drummer from this band is amazing!!! Anyone know his name and what he did after.. BTW: Icicle works is highly underrated..
