			:"''A Bit Of A Mouthful'' is a show I do all on my own, rather than with a jazz trio, a Big Band… or a full orchestra. It's a collection of musical observations (with the odd sing-along!) charting the (ahem!) early middle years of an overwrought, overweight homosexual, in and out of love… but constantly (aren't we all?) on the prowl. When I was writing the show, the lyrics often came out a bit "Tourettsey" and for this I'm afraid I have to make no apology!"<ref>http://www.ianshaw.biz/index.php?id=comedy</ref>

	In July 2013 he appeared as guest artist with Jazz singer Clare Teal and the BBC Radio Leeds Community Big Band at the Royal Hall, [[Harrogate]] with A J Brown and Sir Tim Rice.
