Welcome to Duran Duran Worldwide!

ddworldwide official statement release, dated 8/10/2024 I've been thinking about this for some time.  Tracey and I have also discussed this.  And what time than on Duran Duran Appreciation Day weekend to announce out new directions for Duran Duran Worldwide (ddww or ddworldwide for short). While we no longer have a project dedicated to promoting Duran Duran TO the Rock Hall (formerly the DDTTRH project), we do want to promote the fact that Duran Duran is AT the Rock Hall.  With this in mind, we have started a Duran Duran AT the Rock Hall (DDATRH) Facebook group.  We hope to promote news about the band's display at the Rock Hall museum and even share pictures from visits (please share yours!) ! In terms of other group pages, Duran Duran Gamers was started this year.  I would like to expand the audience of this Facebook group, start a Discord channel and get Duranies together to PLAY GAMES!!!  Note:  I (Kirk) am an avid gamer...so am VERY EXCITED about this. We will continue to s
