We are delighted to welcome back the multi-award winning Ian Shaw for his traditional New Year’s Eve performance.
Only on this special night at The Vortex does Shaw mix up his teen favourites (Elton, Bowie, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder) with some legendary old blues and soul bangers. Add some seasonally satirical comedy originals, singalongs and, in the company of 'simply our finest' (Time Out), Shaw will whip up an unforgettable ‘Hello 2026’ evening.”
Ian Shaw
Ian Shaw's career in performance began unusually for a jazz musician on the Alternative Cabaret Circuit, alongside such performers as Julian Clary, Rory Bremner and Jo Brand. Shaw was spotted by Dave Illic, jazz critic for City Limits and was described as 'the voice of the decade'. He has since gone on to win Best Jazz Vocalist at the BBC Jazz Awards in 2004 and 2007, and has amassed a number of highly acclaimed albums. A popular performer both in the UK and internationally, Ian Shaw is an incredibly colourful character and has been cited, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the world's finest male jazz vocalists. 'A high-class performance of timelessly high-class songs' (The Guardian) 'Praised far and wide as the single greatest male jazz vocalist Britain has to offer' (Jazz Times). Photo: Tim Francis
