Here's another excerpt from Mike Scott's book "Adventures of a Waterboy".
He's talking about putting together a band to tour for his 1997 solo album
Still Burning:

"Moonlighting on bass was Liverpudlian singer Ian McNabb. I'd
met Ian in the
80s at a posh Liverpool hotel after a Waterboys show. He turned
up with Mac
from the Bunnymen, we had a rollicking three-way argument about
politics and world peace,
almost came to blows, and I never heard from either
of them again until McNabb
phoned me out of the blue at Findhorn in 1994. To
my surprise, he asked me to come
and do a couple Waterboys songs with him at
the Glastonbury festival - the appearance
that turned out to be my bracing
reintroduction to the British rock public."  


and

"For a singer/guitarist,
McNabb was a surprisingly good bass player. He and [drummer]
Geoff Dugmore
developed a visceral swagger that drove the music like a threshing machine,
and the empathy extended offstage. Dugmore became the foil for McNabb's
non-stop
comedic horseplay."
