Just been in Shanghai for a couple of weeks as my wife's father passed away and I went back for the funeral ceremonies.

While I was there I picked up a copy of Paul Curran's 'The Cow Ate The Piper'

I have known Paul many years and played at the pub he runs, The Blarney Stone. Paul has recorded 4 albums over the years he has lived and worked in Shanghai and this is the best. Backed by many local ex-pat musicians and well mixed.
