Shane is a self taught guitar player, he's always had a keen interest since a very young age and when he turned 16 his Mum and Dad bought him his first ever proper electric guitar which was an Encore 'special' from Argos!  When he knew in his heart that guitar was his instrument his parents endured two hours in Nottingham music shop waiting for him to make a decision on which guitar to buy.  After losing a little bit of patience waiting for this decision to be made, his Mum passed him the red-wine-coloured Gibson Les Paul  and said "TRY THIS!" The amp booth on the side for testing guitars just happened to be free, he plugged the guitar in, sold!  He still uses that same guitar today for shows!

Shane studied Music Practice at Lincoln College in 2007 and in 2008 came out with his level 3 Diploma with Distinctions in Musical Theatre Performance

"As a musician, I have been playing in both original and cover bands for many years. I have worked with all kinds of musicians and I am passionate about my craft. I think music has the power to bring people together and create an unforgettable experience, and that's why I formed Under The Covers. We play rock, pop, and whatever gets people moving on the dance floor. We are always on the lookout for new tunes to put our own twist on, so you can expect a fresh and exciting experience every time you see us play"
