Merseybeast

Merseybeast is the title of Ian McNabb's third solo album after disbanding The Icicle Works. It is also the title of the first song on the album. The name is a play on the idea of the "Mersey Beat", a 1960s musical genre and movement. Merseybeast is also the title of Ian McNabb's autobiography, published in 2008. A second CD entitled 'North West Coast' was also released in limited quantities.[2] The album peaked at No. 30 on the official UK charts.[3]
