The original line-up broke up in 1988 and McNabb put together a new ’second generation’ Icicle Works in 1989, which released one album in 1990. However, the album was commercially unsuccessful and the band broke up the following year.
In October 2006, after 15 years as a solo artist, McNabb unexpectedly revived the name The Icicle Works for a series of UK concerts. He still plays solo but on this tour he was playing as a part of a new line-up of The Icicle Works. They ran through many of the band’s best known hits including Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream) which has more recently been used in the hit TV series Stranger Things.
