‘To Be Held’ (Silent Wish Records) is the first single from the ‘utterly brilliant’ (‘Time Out’) singer and songwriter, the multi-award[1]winning Ian Shaw. This song, co-written and produced by Jamie Safir (Kylie, Birdy, Will Young) is from the brand-new collection ‘Greek Street Friday’ released later this year on all formats. With an ace band, which includes drummer Ian Thomas (George Michael, Van Morrison, Celine Dion) and guitarist David Preston (Melody Gardot, Curtis Stigers), this collection will also feature, on a beautiful new take of Rickie Lee Jones’ ‘Blinded By The Hunt’, the world-renowned saxophonist Iain Ballamy (Everything But The Girl, Hermeto Pascoal, Loose Tubes). ‘To Be Held’ is a lullaby for our times. The title, inspired by a Truman Capote interview, with Dick Cavett, expands into a beautiful tribute to lost friends, the power of connections, imperfections and navigates the strangeness and beauty of being alive ‘on this beaten-up planet of ours’.

Ian Shaw is back with force and with ‘the quirks and character tics of every day living, . . . brought into euphoric focus Shaw tours his smart and soulful show’ (The Guardian)
