Season 1, Episode 3: Clang is a wonderful colour

In this episode of Clang: The Podcast, Smiley and Pete talk to Ian McNabb, the lead singer of the Icicle Works. They discuss their experiences touring with other musicians, meeting famous artists, and the excitement of being in the music industry. Ian shares some hilarious stories of meeting legends like Ringo Starr, Sir Paul McCartney, David Gilmour, and Brian Wilson and the awkward and embarrassing moments that can happen when approaching famous artists - particularly in the toilet. Despite his success, Ian remains starstruck and passionate about music.
Key Takeaways
• Meeting famous artists can be both exciting and awkward• Approaching artists before they go on stage (or in the toilet) is generally not a good idea
• Even after years in the industry, Ian still feels starstruck
• Passion for music and the thrill of meeting idols is what keeps them going

It was very difficult to have to stop him … maybe a part 2 is called for :)

Love this episode.
I’ve gotta Clang with Ian McNabb.
I went to an Icicle Works gig in the late 80’s at Royal Holloway university.
Midway through the gig, the fire alarm went off, everyone exited except me.
I was abruptly told to leave via the stage and go onto the tour bus, to my amazement. Met the band, made my night and the band went back on stage to play a blistering show 💥🚀
Cuppa down the barn soon sir☕️x
