Al
Shaw (UK)
Banjo and guitar player. Al Shaw's first known recordings are
with Jay Whidden. Shaw replaced Barry Lindhorn in May 1927 and stayed
with Whidden until late 1929. According to the British Dance Bands
discography (Rust & Forbes) he recorded one session also for
Marius B. Winter in late Dec 1928 or early Jan 1929. Whether he was a
regular member of Winter's band at this time is not yet known.
During 1930 he played
at the Bat Club in a band lead by saxophonist Arthur Hetherington. The
band included (at various times) well known pianists Barry Mill, Bobby
McGee and Bert Barnes. The Melody Maker lists Shaw as playing
banjo, guitar and cello.
In the first half of
1931, Al Shaw played guitar in the band Roy Fox created for the Decca
company. This was essentially a studio band, though they may have
appeared publicly, supporting the gentle cornet playing of Roy Fox.
Early 1930s
Melody
Makers list Al Shaw as leader of a band at the "Not"
restaurant (part of the Cafe Anglais) in London.
A photograph in
Melody
Maker for November 30th 1935 shows Shaw in the small band backing
singer Val Rosing, recording for Columbia earlier that month as The
Radio Rhythm Rascals. The other members of the band were Pat Dodd,
piano; Len Fillis, guitar; and Don Stuteley, bass.
A Radio Pictorial
for 1937, from whence comes the main photograph on the right, includes a
broadcast for Radio Luxembourg of "Al Shaw and his Strings",
but doesn't describe exactly what instrumentation of orchestra this was. |

something to do with it. |
