Biography
Johnny Marr (born John Martin Maher; 31 October 1963) is an English songwriter,
guitarist, keyboardist, harmonica player, and singer. Marr rose to fame in the
1980s as the guitarist in The Smiths, where he formed a prolific songwriting
partnership with Morrissey. Marr has been a member of Electronic, The The, and
Modest Mouse. In 2008, he joined The Cribs after touring with them on 2008's NME
Awards Tour.
Marr was born in Ardwick, Manchester, the son of Irish immigrants to England.
His parents came from Athy in County Kildare. He attended St Augustine's RC
Grammar School, which then merged with other schools to form a Comprehensive
School, St John Plessingtons. Marr had aspirations to be a professional football
player, and was approached by Nottingham Forest F.C. and had trials with
Manchester City F.C. (which he supports). In an interview with FourFourTwo
magazine, Marr said "I was good enough for City, but they didn't follow up
because I was probably the only player out there wearing eyeliner." He currently
resides in Manchester in the United Kingdom with wife Angie, and their children,
daughter Sonny and son Nile. Marr has been a vegan since 1985.
