	Guardian \| Ian McNabb
		Ian McNabb, former frontman of 1980s band the Icicle Works, is a successful example of how to live with a pop star past.
		Big chugging chords and endless guitar solos nestle next to football banter, bad jokes and constant asides to bandmates - including Matthew Priest from Dodgy on drums - the mood is one of a celebratory lock-in after an FA cup final.
		McNabb yanks his Bruce Springsteen-meets-Neil-Young fodder from the jaws of MOR, through his astute lyrics - offering a dissection on middle age - and catchy choruses.

		Ian didn't relish the idea of recording out of his native surroundings, undeterred, Andrew insisted his idea was a sound one.
		Ian's most recent album, Before All Of This, was previewed by the top 40 single "Let The Young Girl Do What She Wants To." This was Ian's first 'hit' in 21 years proving there's life in the old dog yet.
		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.

	Kathy's Zak Starkey Site: Zak with Icicle Works and Ian McNabb
		In 1997, Ian McNabb was playing bass in (at the time, former, Waterboy) Mike Scott's touring band when they found themselves drummerless mid tour.
		In June 2002, Ian McNabb along with Zak, were part of the backing band for Ringo's set at The Cowdray Concert Tibetan Benefit.
		Straightforward hard rock, with dreadful clichéd lyrics (although McNabb's tongue is quite probably firmly in his cheek on this one), primeval drumming courtesy of Zak Starkey, buckets of grinding guitar, a chanted chorus, and so forth.

		Robert Ian McNabb first rose to prominence with 'The Icicle Works' when they scored two major hit singles—"Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)" and "Love is a Wonderful Colour".
		Rather facetiously, Ian suggested that if the services of Neil Young's band could be assured, he would gladly make the long journey to California.
		With a new compilation Potency....the Best of Ian McNabb, and a new album due this side of Christmas, Ian is gigging all over the Country and the chance to see arguably the finest singer/songwriter in the UK here at The Prom is one you'd be foolish to miss.

	Ian McNabb - Don't Put Your Spell On Me
		It's now almost two years since Ian McNabb firmly established his solo career with the Mercury Awards nomination of his second album Head Like A Rock.
		The lyrics are distinctively McNabb - eloquent yet uncomplicated - although they're a little confusing here, as McNabb alternatively seems to be singing about a high-flying starlet trying to pick him up, or someone fawning over him because of his success.
		The version included her is live, recorded during the Head Like A Rock tour on which McNabb was joined by Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot from Crazy Horse.

	Ian McNabb - Head Like A Rock
		It certainly did well enough that when McNabb was at a loss for inspiration for his second solo album, his label suggested shipping him out to Los Angeles and seeing what that did for his sound.
		Although neither had even heard of McNabb, they welcomed the opportunity to perform with him and the end results can be found here, with no less than four of the tracks on this album featuring Molina and Talbot.
		While many of McNabb's musical idols are American, his previous efforts have always indicated that here was somebody who, while strongly influenced by the American rock greats, grew up in Liverpool, a city with an impeccable rock pedigree of its own.

		But McNabb's willingness to express, from a male perspective, emotions uncommon for conventional rock's posturing swagger soon makes you a convert.
		McNabb, on the other hand, captures much more of love's metaphysical experience without resorting to easy heavy panting.
		For his part, McNabb offers the comparatively clever, understated "I'm a Genius," his take on a similar set of circumstances: "I'm no use around your house/I can't tell you how to fix your engine/I can't mend your broken fence/I'd let in a goal if I'm defending/But when it comes to loving you babe/I'm a genius."

		On a day when temperatures reached the dizzy heights of about 27 degrees, the arrival of Ian McNabb with a full electric band assured us that the night was going to be a scorcher as well.
		The back of Ian's T-shirt read "sometimes I get so high....." a feeling that most of the crowd must have shared as some of the McNabbheads got into full rocking mode and jostled each other at the front of the stage.
		We were only what proved to be halfway through the nights entertainment yet it seemed that if the night finished now no one would have any cause for complaint as Ian had surfed through his repertoire and pulled out gems again and again.

	TWAS 70: Walker Brothers, Ian McNabb, Julian Dawson
		Instead of trying to reproduce the Icicle Works' percussive exuberance, McNabb opted to begin his solo career with a renewed emphasis on careful songcraft and uncluttered arrangements.
		Crazy Horse weren't around to help on McNabb's new album, Merseybeast, but his new backing duo The Afterlife, with Russell Milton on bass and Daniel Strittmatter on drums, appear undaunted by the potential for comparison, and the ensuing record is, if anything, even more expansive, redemptive, warm and open-hearted than Head Like a Rock.
		McNabb understands the power that rock and roll, used for good, can have, and takes his responsibility to so use it seriously, but at the same time playing this music is too much glorious fun for the burden of potential to ever become wearying.

	TWAS 337: Prefab Sprout, Nik Kershaw, Neil Finn, Mark Seymour, Ian McNabb
		The eponymy of Ian McNabb, though, suggests a new beginning, and it's a real electric record, with a band and studio manipulation and everything, including later-era Icicle Works bassist Roy Corkhill and some Pro-Tools fiddling by Icicle Works producer Ian Broudie.
		But I don't have to like it that much, I'm just happy to know that Ian is making real records again, records he's willing to plan and think about and craft, instead of just sitting down in front of a microphone with a tape-recorder running.
		Everybody has to do their best work sometime, and the combination of statistics and the opaque future means that for most of us, our best work will not be our last.

		Respect is due to the man; he’s survived in the music industry for over two decades and crashed back into the Top 40 singles chart earlier this year.
		McNabb is still a good vocalist, this is particularly demonstrated on the haunting ‘Rider (The Heartless Mare)’, and anyone suffering from heartache has to hear ‘Finally Getting Over You’.
		McNabb then pulls the proverbial rabbit out the hat, ‘Keeping Your Love Alive’ seems to plod along innocently before an explosive and surprising chorus.
