about

Anthony 'The Iceman' Irvine is somebody whose act, I had read about in footnotes and heard about from friends lucky enough to have experienced his live show in the late 80's/early 90's.

I recently got to meet him through a short convoluted series of events and wrote this song in celebration of his work.

To add to the convoluted series of events, Simon Munnery was playing a club in the local vicinity. I suggested to Anthony that we could maybe ask Simon to shout 'Melt It!' for the song's repeated refrain. Simon was obliging, so after his show, I recorded him shouting 'Melt It!'.

It seemed only right that with Munnery on board, I should ask Robert Wringham, author of Melt It!, the book of The Iceman to add his voice. He sent me a voice message from his holiday in Canada to add to the mix.

I recorded Anthony himself, crooning in the passenger seat of my car, at the end of an afternoon of filming a large block of ice plummeting from the dizzy heights of a suspension bridge, rumoured to possibly be the one from which an infant Winston Churchill fell when holidaying in Bournemouth.

Once assembled,I sent all of these elements to my old mucker mix master Matthews and here it is.
