This here be the personal website
of the versatile singer-songwriter,
doodler and hack, Ben J Shaw.

The short and snappy bio:

Born in hate and raised in
Blackpool, Benjamin Shaw had a lot
on his plate. After a period of particular awfulness and brief descent into
madness, Shaw escaped the Vegas
of the North and arrived in Londontown
with a bottle of port and a one trick pony.

Lurching from one disastrous Customer Service job to the next, and each day
turning to nought but filth, there was
one of two paths Shaw could take to
escape: either write the next great
British novel, boldly staking claim to all
that is good and pure in the land; or
buy a pushbike and pedal himself into oncoming traffic. Luckily, Shaw had
neither talent nor bicycle clips, and
instead sat in pubs and wrote songs.
