The Icicle Works rose to fame in 1983 when they scored two major hit singles 'Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)' and 'Love is a Wonderful Colour'. The band released four albums between 1983 - 1988, all achieving top forty placing, until they broke up immediately after their swansong 'Blind'.
More recently in autumn 2006 Ian McNabb resurrected The Icicle Works for a sold-out 25th Anniversary tour. 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, 'Permanent Damage' under the name The Icicle Works using session musicians in place of the departed Chris's.
