Jules will be well known to many of you, through the Bob Geldof Facebook page, as first Mayor of Boomtown and in co-ordinating fan meet ups before gigs. So it was a delight to chat to her about one of her other passions, although even then the BTR often feature!
We have a couple more lined up, but would be delighted if you wanted to contact me to arrange a chat about one of your interests/experiences.
Have a lovely Sunday.
Brilliant 👍👏
In answer to the question How do you Do Julie Koretz? - I would say you get up at crack of dawn and first thing you do is check Facebook pages, COB, Rats forum etc and respond to all outstanding queries, check Google for anything new about BG and band and post it before most people are awake, let alone aware, then repeat process throughout day at regular intervals, all without any remuneration or enough recognition, while still somehow holding down the paid day job.
On a gig day one would need to get to the town about 6 hours before the concert, be first as the designated meet up you have spent hours arranging and co-ordinating, welcome all and any with open arms (well maybe not post covid 😐) then around 90 minutes before doors open start the 'queue' for entry. 😂
A J-J-J-Julie of the front Row holds all records known to mankind for being on the barriers, and likewise for the amount of photos per gig (approx 650 on average 🤣). You will then need to be one of the select few to go backstage and be greeted warmly by the band, before securing the mandatory BG selfie (current total approx 250).
You will then post a great comprehensive summary of the day on various social media platforms, accompanied by a selection of excellent pro level photos, for all to enjoy. Next day starts as per top of this post....
How do you Do Julie Koretz? You need to be probably the most selfless person anyone will encounter and accept you never get the thanks you deserve.
She's a genuine Fan(zine) Hero 😀
🤣
