He represents an intriguing figure, one who is content to sit outside the mainstream despite having the necessary attributes to make it as a mainstream entertainer. Shaw is also an accomplished pianist and a raconteur with a ready and salty wit. Something of a polymath he’s been an actor, comedian and an Alternative Cabaret entertainer. In jazz terms he’s also a highly skilled improviser who sings with great technical facility and is prepared to criss-cross genres and take musical risks. Shaw is also an artist with strong political convictions who is a trustee of the Side By Side With Refugees organisation. He has done much to raise public awareness of the refugee crisis and has been a frequent visitor to the camps in Calais.
