So, we are into our 3rd week of taking a member of the Dale team and leaving them on Dale’s (not so deserted) Island. This week being cast away is John Elliss our Marketing Manager.
If you were to be cast away on a desert island, what could you not live without? You can take with you: 5 songs, 1 book and 5 luxury items.
John has been with Dale for just over 3 months now and oversees Dale Office’s Marketing.
Now like Ashley Smith (see his Dale Island Disc picks here) John has been stranded on the dark side of the island, the part of the island that has little more than an office chair and a desk on the beach. With that said, let’s learn a little bit more about John.
So John, what 5 luxury items, 5 songs and 1 book would take along with you to this very deserted Dale Island.
MacBook
“I think I would be lost without my Mac, it goes where I go so, this has to come to the island, being a graphic designer by trade the Mac is a must.”
Solar Panel
“Being practical, I’d have to take a portable solar panel to power my Mac. I’m assuming the Dale Desert Island is in the Caribbean and not off the coast of Scotland otherwise, I’d like to take a small wind turbine instead.”
Guitar
“I’ve played the guitar from a young age, initially as a classical guitarist. I remember playing for hours preparing for the grading tests. The thought of those tests still make me nervous, even today. Now I’m quite a bit older, the guitar is one of those items that I don’t use enough due to time, but on a desert island, I’ll have all the time in the world.”
My Dog Bailey
“He’d have to come along with me to the desert island, we do everything together and I couldn’t be without him. You can see him in the picture to the right”
A Football
“A Football, yes for the dog, but also for me, when I have heat stroke I can imagine (like I did when I was a child) that I’m scoring the winning goal in the world cup for England.”

“Quite a personal song this one and is very dear to my heart”
“One of the songs that made them famous and in my opinion, still the best song from their long list of hits!”
