Jack Duxbury Meets Nile Rodgers
What a legend. Whatever your interest in music or your background, Nile Rodgers is a household name to us all. To some, he's the man behind Chic and Sister Sledge. To others, the major collaborator with David Bowie, Madonna, Diana Ross and Lady Gaga. To more than a few, he's the guitarist on Daft Punk's earworm “Get Lucky”. Jack had the pleasure of hosting Nile Rodgers on this one.
