Line 91:
In October 2006, after 15 years as a solo artist, McNabb unexpectedly revived the name "The Icicle Works" for a series of UK concerts. However, this new version of McNabb's old band did not feature any original [[Icicle Works]] members other than McNabb himself. In essence, McNabb seemed to be re-branding himself, using a somewhat more successful trade name in order to give his work increased exposure. Throughout 2007 and into early 2008, McNabb played dates as both a solo artist and with The Icicle Works.
In December 2007, McNabb's second live album (''How We Live - At The Philharmonic'') was issued. The album was culled from two June 2007 shows at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall
A series of Icicle Works gigs in December 2007 were heavily criticized by fans on the Message Boards at www.ianmcnabb.com for their supposedly shambolic nature, especially with regards to McNabb's performance. Perhaps by way of an apology, The Icicle Works played 2 free shows in January 2008. Thereafter, The Icicle Works name was retired once again, and McNabb resumed playing exclusively as a solo artist.
Line 97:
In January and February 2008, McNabb was involved with "The Number One Project", a concert and compilation album celebrating Liverpool's fifty-six #1 singles on the UK charts. McNabb played at the January concert, and subsequently appeared on the album, released in February, with his studio cover of [[John Lennon]]'s "Woman".
In late 2008, McNabb participated in a concert reunion of City Lights, an early pre-Icicle Works band of which he had been a member as a teen. At the end of the year, McNabb released his autobiography, entitled ''Merseybeast''.
McNabb's latest studio album, ''Great Things'', was first made available at gigs in September, 2009. As of November, it was made available for sale on McNabb's website. It has been announced on McNabb's website that ''Great Things'' will be released to retail stores in January, 2010, and will be preceded by a release of the single "New Light" featuring Mike Scott of [[The Waterboys]] on guitar and backing vocals.
