A familiar face on the Folk, Ceilidh and Ukulele scene all over the UK, I am a popular performer, dance caller and workshop leader. A multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, tenor and G-banjo, mandolin and ukulele, I am also an acclaimed composer and arranger.
My concert set includes original material, Music Hall and well known songs with a few twists and surprises to have the audience singing along. A wide range of online and face to face workshops for a variety of instruments is listed on my workshops page.
“A wonderful performance from Chris McShane headlining our Afternoon Concert. What a talented entertainer and dazzling uke player. So much positive feedback received from participants of Chris's Finger picking workshop”
Organiser of Walkington Ukulele Festival.
“I liked your warming up sessions to begin the day and the little forays into music theory and how your musical depth coped easily with the barrage of questions from the floor”.
Linda, Workshop Student
“Thank you again for yesterday - I’ve had some lovely feedback and everyone is very enthusiastic about another session”. Ukulele group organiser, Sheffield
General
I need one good vocal mic ( Shure SM58 or similar) and 3 DIs for my instruments. PA system to be be supplied by the venue/ promoter unless otherwise arranged. I can bring my own PA, but this must be arranged prior to the event. The venue PA must be PAT tested and in good working order with a safe power supply. I generally play standing up and will bring my own stool to sit on for instrumental numbers.
During the Performance
Drinking water should be available for the performance.
If food is provided, please note that I am vegetarian.
