He has been touring the UK in various theatre shows ever since, including The Syd Lawrence Orchestra, The Len Phillips Big Band and the Ratpack-inspired Kings of Swing. Thanks to his extensive touring experience, this yound singer has developed into an established, charismatic and stylish performer.

His repertoire is a guide to jazz and swing, from well-loved classics by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and Bobby Darin to contemporary artists such Jamie Cullum. He is best known for his outstanding Universal recording of the Michael Bubl classic Home, which has appeared on 6 albums, including You Raise Me Up (Universal Music, 2008) - alongside Elton John, Abba, Girls Aloud, Pavorotti - which reached Number 1 in the UK Album Chart....The latest album featuring Shane was released recently - 'Time To Say Goodbye 2010'

He is available to book here in a variety of formats including a self-contained solo singer, using the very latest professional digital backing tracks, accompanied by a pianist, or backed by a full live big-band ranging from a 3-piece band to a 16-piece orchestra. This makes his act terrifically versatile, able to accommodate the needs of any event, large or small.
