Shaw and Simcock up for BBC awards

Welsh stars Ian Shaw and Gwilym Simcock are among the nominees for the BBC Jazz Awards 2008.

Shaw, from St Asaph, is once again nominated in the Best Vocalist category which he previously won in 2004 and 2007.

Pianist Simcock from Bangor - winner of the Rising Star award in 2005 - is shortlisted for Best Instrumentalist and in the Best Album category for his debut release Perception.

The Best Album is one of several awards being decided by a public vote.

See the BBC Jazz Awards website for full details and to cast your votes.

The winners will be announced online following the awards ceremony at London's Mermaid Theatre on Monday 21 July.

Highlights will be broadcast on BBC Radio 2, and there'll be a special awards edition of Jazz on 3 on BBC Radio 3 on Saturday 26 July.
