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 Doors/licensed bar open 7pm Music 7.30pm (with interval) This event is sponsored by Andertons Music Co. Our GI Music Lounge events are held as fundraising events for The Guildford Institute
