Dan Snow, Synchronised Swimming Confession, History of the Shipping Forecast
Historian and broadcaster Dan Snow discuss his upcoming tour - An Evening With The 'History Guy'.
Historian and broadcaster Dan Snow will embark on his first UK theatre tour this summer.
An Evening With The 'History Guy' will see Dan share memorable anecdotes from his career as a historian and broadcaster. Every show will have its own exclusive 'local' element that will see Dan present historical facts about each town and area on the tour.
Dan attributes his love of history to his childhood when he recalls spending weekends being taken to castles, battlefields, country houses and churches. Dan went on to study history at Oxford University. During his stint at Oxford he also rowed in the Boat Race three times!
When Dan left Oxford he started presenting history programmes with his father, broadcaster Peter Snow. Over the years Dan has made programmes on a number of historical topics and has presented shows such as Armada, Grand Canyon and Vikings. He has written or contributed to several books including Death or Victory, the story of the siege of Quebec in 1759, The World's Greatest Twentieth Century Battlefields and most recently The Battle of Waterloo Experience.
