Episode 52 - Dan French - Times Like These

from Music Talks · host Terry Smith

My guest in this episode is Dan French. As is often the case with my guests there is a work connection however in this case Dan worked with my brother Jim in the 90’s, not with myself. His name has come up regularly since that time and I am delighted he came on the show. To say Dan is an avid consumer of music is an understatement. This episode is a veritable Cook’s tour of the last six decades of music and in this 75-minute episode we manage to reference a 124 artists and songs spanning a whole range of genres and trends. Somehow Dan managed to whittle that down to these seven great choices 60’s       The Beatles                                                     Revolution70’s        Derek & The Dominos                             Layla 80’s       Joan Armatrading                                       All the Way from America 90’s       Jeff Buckley                                                     Hallelujah 00’s       The Magic Numbers                                   Forever Lost10’s       Adele                                                                    Someone Like You 20’s       Live Lounge All Stars                                   Times Like These In amongst all that music Dan has some fascinating stories including: ·        An extended road trip to the US and Canada in the early 80’s ·        Moving a Buick Regal Sedan from Seattle to San Bernadino on a motorcycle licence ·        Working with  big  names in I.T including James Martin & Tom Gruber (creator of Siri) ·        The journey to becoming CEO and owner of Consider Solutions·        Making his daughters late for school by taking them to the IOW Festival ·        Forming the band Bromma Plan and playing in Amsterdam, Vienna, Ibiza, and Edinburgh Dan is the proud father of two wonderful daughters, Hannah and Amy and now lives in Weybridge with his partner Georgia and her children Raff and Sienna. Here is the link to the hit packed 123 songs on Dan's Playlist.
