In 1978 local band Duran Duran brought in a demo tape, and were offered a rehearsal space and jobs around the club—drummer Roger Taylor working as a glass collector, guitarist Andy Taylor cooking and maintaining the interior, bassist John Taylor working as a bouncer, and keyboardist Nick Rhodes DJing. The group became the resident band at the club. After playing their 1983 charity concert at Villa Park, they held the afterparty at the Rum Runner. In 2006 John Taylor and Nick Rhodes released a compilation album entitled "Only After Dark", featuring their favourite songs from the Rum Runner playlist.
