To celebrate Pride 2018 (7th July) our very own Ian Shaw is presenting a special night of two shows at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club featuring Tom Smith's Queertet and guests.
About the opportunity Ian Shaw said:
“To present these very special shows at my favourite club in the world, with some dear pals, old and new, is quite literally, in so many ways, the dream date. As the city of London (with Soho as its spiritual engine) welcomes people of all sexuality, colour, age, faith, non-faith, birthright and gender-identity to flood into our beautiful city to celebrate Pride 2018, the annual peace-rally that galvanises and celebrates the much-cherished and long-fought political and legislative journey to equality, we present these shows at Ronnie’s simply and joyfully to say “We are One. And we are all Different”.

The Queertet is the exciting brainchild of young tenor saxophonist, ferocious band leader, composer and arranger, Tom Smith and features Jamie Safir, Matthew Herd, Stephen Street and Justin Tambini.
The first show is from 6pm and the special guest is Julian Clary, a national trinket and renowned homosexual. A comedian, TV and radio panellist, actor and published author, he and Ian Shaw have been misbehaving together for many years.
The second show is from 10.30pm and the special guest is Sharon D. Clarke, a TV and theatre singing and acting legend. The Tony Kushner musical, “Caroline, Or Change”, in which she dazzled, transfers to the West End later this year. Ian and Sharon met at the first massive London HIV awareness event for The Terrence Higgins Trust - The Thing a Thong - at The Piccadilly Theatre and ate a lot of chocolate together.
One of the UK’s most original and exciting young trumpeter Laura Jurd from the Mercury-nominated “Dinosaur”, will be joining Tom and the Queertet for the two shows.
