Joke is well known to many of you, as she is one of those fans who travels extensively the gigs throughout Europe for both Rats and Bob's solo gigs. As my technical abilities have improved (from a very low bese indeed!), so we have been able to talk to people for longer. The chat is therefore split into 3 sections.
In the first section Joke describes what finally got her into the band, seeing Bob live for the first time and how wearing a Boomtown Rats t-shirt caught out Pete's son with her response!
In the second section, Joke's passion for women's football, something apparently not shared by Bob!
And finally, a couple of theories Joke has, including how Bob may have been inspired to start the Citizens of Boomtown.
Great Interview from U2 ...........
Another excellent interview. Thanks both for an interesting set of Q&A. I dug out a reply I put on a couple of years back if anyone wants to look into turbojugend.

Great to see you Joke. Really enjoyed that and I’d forgotten about the fact you’d met Pete’s son at IOW.
