Oliver Shaw is an Oxford-based songwriter, performer and producer. His material aims to fuse the sounds of Indie and Dance music with insightful lyrics reminiscent of Elvis Costello or Morrissey and the melodic sensibility of the classic 60's acts. He self-released an album, "War Years", in late 2002, culled from home sessions. A second set, "Paying For It", followed in January 2005. As well as gaining local FM radio exposure his tracks have been featured on various unsigned compilation CDs, and he was added to the playlist of the Pulse Rated digital radio station late in 2004. He has performed many times at the major Oxford venues with a backing band drawn from the ranks of other fledgling local acts, and more recently has played some solo acoustic sets at London venues. Oliver has now put together a new gigging line-up, Worldview, combining live instruments and PC, which is now playing dates in Oxford and beyond.
