Press reviews published

Witney election 2016 write-up by John Crace of the Guardian, mentions the OMRLP and Mad Hatter. 
They completely misquoted what I did say but of well, it's still publicity:

Mad Hatter was interviewed by Aura Willows of 'Secrets of Oxford' blog

Mad Hatter Tours will appear in 2016 in the German Press and on a Dutch TV travel show called, De Literaire Toerist (‘the literary tourist’). In addition to the show being promoted on a Dutch national newspaper called Het Parool.

This show was filmed on July 4th 2015, 'Alice Day', in Oxford Botanical Gardens, following Mad Hatter's Un-birthday party for local children.

Mad Hatter Tour Guide was interviewed by Channel 8 That's TV News in July 2015. See excerpt from program here at link at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZU_QqWTbCs





Tune in to BBCiplayer.co.uk, to see Mad Hatter on BBC 1 Master Chef (tune in from 29 minutes after start of program) for a very experimental mad hatter tea party cooked by UK celebrity chefs. This MasterChef program was filmed on theme of the 150th anniversary of the publication of 'Alice in Wonderland'. with the theme of course of the Mad hatter's tea party. The filming took place at my favourite garden pub called 'The Perch' in Binsey, just outside Oxford. This is one of the places where we often go to on the bike tours.

  1. Mad Hatter is not publicity-shy and as Mad hatter is also an entertainer, if you see an opportunity to have Mad Hatter help make a story newspaper headlines for your organisation or campaign issue, please write Mad Hatter.

    Mad Hatter has sometimes volunteered for good projects too.
