A few years ago, before the Nottingham’s Sheriff’s Lodge medieval banqueting centre was sold for redevelopment,     December used to be my busiest time as Robin Hood, performing at banquets every night of the week pretty much for the whole month (and at it’s height, from halfway through November too).

These days I still do banquets at Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest but now a lot of my December work comes from the Digital Paparazzi, which luckily involves just as much dressing up and just as much fun too, so it was a great and rare pleasure to be able to combine ‘Hood-ing’ with ‘Pap-ing’ last Saturday at a very posh hotel in Nottingham to celebrate a client’s 50th birthday. He’d decided to have a fancy dress party themed around ‘heroes’ and had the Paparazzi boys doing their thing but he also wanted an MC to announce and help the guests, so I got to be Robin at what turned out to be the most excellent costume party I’ve ever been to – even if the next morning I’d lost my voice due to all the shouting! 

Robin’s Twitter update

I’ve already mentioned the Robin Hood Twitter feed set up by the World Wide Robin Hood Society, it’s now up and running and you can read more about it at the Nottingham Evening Post article  HERE.

(This Nottingham Evening Post photo from their article shows me with Mike Douglas and Bob White from the Society).
