Ian McNabb (Acoustic Solo Show)

Event information

Pindrop Events & Minus Me present a solo acoustic show by Ian McNabb (The Voice and Guitar of The Icicle Works) on Saturday 15th March 2014. His first gig in Newcastle for many many years.

Robert Ian McNabb (born 3rd November 1962) first rose to prominence with 'The Icicle Works' 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 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.

McNabb released new album, Eclectic Warrior in March 2013, following a Pledge campaign, to critical acclaim. The album is a return to the electric sound of 1994 album, Head Like A Rock.

Ian has been a professional musician since the age of fifteen, when he used to play at workingmen's social clubs in the northwest of England, although he now reckons he's only just getting started. Good start Ian...
