Dan Keeling has had not one but two dream jobs. With almost 20 years in the music industry, Keeling was one of the country’s top A&R men, responsible for developing Coldplay, Lily Allen, Athlete and many other artists in the hedonistic times of the CD-buying era, when guitars were still tolerated, expenses went unscrutinised and nobody minded the mischief that occurred after the encore. For Keeling though, music was only the start. Rather than retire to the countryside to talk about the olden days – or make cheese like Blur’s bassist Alex James – he quit music in 2013 to start a different kind of wine magazine.
