Nile Marr (Johnny Marr's son) / Kid 4077 - interview, first solo gig in Manchester (June 1)

KID 4077 - NILE MARR - Designer Magazine

A few months ago Nile Marr was offered the main support slot on the UK tour with Paolo Nutini playing to 4000 people a night and then they found out he was 15. Insurance related gubbins got in the way and it was back to the drawing board again for the songwriter who goes under the name Kid 4077 and prefers listening to Bob Dylan and John Martyn rather than the Arctic Monkeys or The Libertines.

The son of Smiths and Modest Mouse guitarist Johnny Marr, Nile has always been around musicians, but its not until June 1st that he'll be playing his first official solo gig following the disbanding of his previous group which also went under the Kid 4077 moniker and featured Tom Abbott, son of Shameless writer Paul Abbott. After several years of wrestling with the idea of being a producer, pianist or drummer it's not until recently that Marr felt happy with the idea of being a guitarist and songwriter...

Swallowneck is happy to see that the son of Marr is growing into a man - but he doesn't see the join!

He has no "designs" on the son of Marr, just in case you were wondering!!!

Well if Johnny Marr was your personal guitar tutor you've got to have an advantage.

Rather mature taste for a 15yo mind!

        What must it feel like to be the offspring of a Smith? To have all that history running through your veins? Yamaha.

                Is he named after Nile Rodgers from "CHIC" Johnny Marr liked him. Or maybe the River Nile??
