Accordionist

Manchester

Pete Shaw is a multi-instrumentalist and composer based in the UK. He is most easily found playing accordion in his unique Irish-Klezmer-Jazz fusion style in bands around Manchester. In 2020, he set off on an international tour with his award winning Alt-Folk duo, Good Habits. What was supposed to be a 3 month tour resulted in them being stranded in New Zealand for 2 years by the global events of 2020. Having now returned to Manchester, he is back to performing around the UK and Europe, writing his own music and working as a session musician. Find me online: musophotos. com

Really added to the atmosphere of the party, we will definitely get him again next year!

Even though we had last minute changes to the event organisation, Pete handled everything with ease and thankfully played for longer than we had originally asked for
