Duran Duran's John Taylor chats with Marty Miller
Duran Duran have loved coming to Ireland over the last few years.
Chatting then and now with John Taylor. John was talking from his fancy palm tree adorned home in LA. Marty was not.
He’s friends with Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy, Robbie Kreiger of the doors, Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Nils Lofgren of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street band – enough names dropped yet? OK – so its a small exaggeration to say “friends with” but he has hung out and chatted with the aforementioned!! He’s been on the radio in Ireland since he was 16 years of age, starting at Beaumont Hospital Radio and throughout the years won over 15 radio awards. Fancy!
