Dan
Daniel "The songbird of our generation" Hilary-Jones isn't just a pretty face. You'd never know it from looking at him, but he knows his way around a chainsaw just as well as he knows his sourdough starters.
With 'sentiment over sentimentality' at the core of his writing ethos:
Dan writes with an ambiguity that allows the listener to impart the own meanings and stories into the songs; while still pulling on their heartstrings.
Living in Cardiff for most of his life, Dan shared a guitar teacher with Nick Drake, and produces the bands music along with other favourite artists from the South Wales music scene.
Gem
The smiliest and bounciest drummer you’ve ever seen!
As a trained tap dancer- she found her passion for percussion quite easily, when she heard Dan’s angelic songs in desperate need of a beat!
Gem hails all the way from sunny California but prefers the dismal weather of the Welsh countryside.
She studied acting at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, holds a doctorate, and aspires to one day be a crazy cat lady.
Jenny
Jenny brings an incredible amount of joy and fun to the DP experience.
Originally from Nottingham, studied opera at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff where, she became one of Dan’s People!
Growing up listening to prog rock, classical and folk she has an eclectic music taste. At a show you’ll hear her play flute, Mellotron, a Korg, tambourine, harmonise, and sing her little heart out!
She’s never happier than when she’s shaking her tambourine (ass) and wailing with the band.
Fflur
Bassist and aspiring mime artist, Fflur, joined the band in 2024. Inspired by the likes of Kim Deal and and Carol Kaye, she brings the glamour and fuzzy bass solos to Dan’s People.
Aside from this, Fflur is an ancient history student and Welsh speaker with a passion for poetry and beauty.
She was once told by The Fonz that she has the best eyes he’s ever seen!
And we agree!!
