Original songs. Hilarious entertainment. Great musical chops.
Check out DAD DANCING, the new McShane & Shaw album!
We’ve just released a fantabulous new album called Dad Dancing, a collection of eclectic and original songs featuring different styles and genres (country, disco, classical, jazz swing, comedy & reggae) superbly recorded and mixed at Ian Rafferty’s “Creative Music” studio.
The album is available to buy both as CD (with free digital download) or download-only at our Bandcamp page.
“Crammed with feel-good tunes — a perfect antidote to the approaching winter.”
— Uke Magazine Click here to read the full, glowing review!
“I reckon Ralph and Chris must be very much at the very top of the tree nationally in terms of quality and appeal of their ukulele act and music.”
— Pete Arnold, organiser of Diss Ukulele Day, Norfolk
