Duran Duran Special at The Hospital Studios

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

It was the second part to the ‘Sky Arts’ show today, Duran Duran performed 11 tracks from past hits and current, including favourites like Rio, Save a Prayer and Ordinary World among them. It was filmed in front of a live audience which gave a great atmosphere. Charlotte my assistant, did a good job, helping me with the backing singers. A fabulous day as always with the band!

Below is a testimonial from Magus Entertainment, Duran Duran’s Management:

Working with Sam Cooper is always a pleasure. She has been Duran Duran’s primary groomer in the UK, doing their hair and make up for all kinds of filmed and photographed events for the past two years. She always displays the utmost degree of professionalism and has the knack of putting the client at ease while consistently making them look great! Sam will always come highly recommended by Magus Entertainment and Duran Duran.
