Julie Paid Magazine Interview / 19th April 2019
Julie Paid (aka Alf Short) was interviewed by Boyz Magazine in a feature called Me, Myself and I, about his career and working with Jeff.
"Julie Paid owes her misfortune to the wonderful talents of Jeff Kristian who asked me to join him on stage one night at the famous Father Red Cap, while he was doing his quick-change-on-stage show and I was his unhelpful sidekick, complete with a black satin maid’s uniform. Beautiful! We were very popular back then, believe it or not, and I did my apprenticeship under Ms Kristian. Bless him. It was the best grounding to have him as my teacher and I’m eternally grateful for all his effort, time and patience."
