Ian Shaw

“Best Jazz Vocalist” at the BBC Jazz Awards in 2007 and 2004, Ian Shaw has already amassed a number of highly acclaimed albums and is a popular performer both in the UK and the US. He has been cited, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the world's finest male jazz vocalists.

The award-winning singer-pianist and cheeky raconteur’s show overflows with tales of grumpy midlife woe, salacious witty memoir, heart stopping songs and rude sing-alongs. Shaw has worked with everyone in music and comedy from Jools Holland, Jo Brand, Rory Bremner, Jamie Cullum, Quincy Jones, and Charlotte Church.

Ian's solo one-man show, A Bit of Mouthful, a delicious confectionery of witty songs, hilarious stories and heartfelt balladry goes on road including a full run at the prestigious Edinburgh Festival in August.
