Ian McNabb

[The Living Bubba]

Saw him on Friday doing an acoustic set.

Setting was a church which I'm sure helped acoustics but gotta say his voice was excellent. Although I liked a lot of Icicle Works his solo stuff to my ears can be a bit hit or miss but I will have to revisit now. Some notes sent shivers whilst other times he sounded like a crooner. He played a great range of stuff with some witty interludes - one of the best being when saying not all his lyrics being profound and McCulloch taunting him saying "What's a hollow horse? and him replying " do you still kiss tortoise shells"

Great night and he seems a top fella too.

I don't think Mac's kissed any tortoise shells for about 30 years.
