Overview
The Icicle Works are an English rock band from Liverpool, presenting a concert at O2 Academy Islington in London. The group is known to many listeners for the songs of its early 1980s recordings.
The Icicle Works formed in Liverpool in 1979 and were built around the songwriting and vocals of Ian McNabb. Their best-known single, "Whisper to a Scream (The Birds Fly Down)", came out in 1983, and the follow-up "Love Is a Wonderful Colour" appeared in 1984, the same year as their self-titled album. Both songs are guitar-led rock tracks that reflect the band's roots in the Liverpool music scene of the period.
The band's catalogue spans several albums from the 1980s, and the concert offers a chance to hear the songs that defined their early career. The evening takes place at O2 Academy Islington, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and suits listeners who follow British rock from the early 1980s onward.
