GI Music Lounge

Jazz singer and entertainer Ian Shaw returns to the Guildford Institute for his inimitable one-man powerhouse show to explore the joys, tears and sheer horror of the festive season. Join this mischievous artist for a cracker of a show, after yet another right old figgy pud of a year. Expect seasonal songs and razor-sharp comedy.

Ian has been a staple on the British jazz scene for over three decades. He tours constantly in this country and internationally, with several of his recorded output being on US labels. Whether solo at the piano, with his trio or as the special guest with orchestras, he remains the consummate entertainer and his recordings and live performances have been recognised by numerous awards. Ian can be heard weekly on the Ronnie Scott’s Radio Show on Jazz FM which he has presented now for over ten years.

“a brilliant vocal chameleon . . . there’s actually more heart in Ian Shaw’s cleverness than in many singers who wear their hearts conspicuously on their sleeves”  Telegraph
