B4 Reviews – with Ruth Hawkins
Richard has recently asked me to find and lead a small team of reviewers from the B4 community, so over the next few weeks I will be looking to build that team and also looking for venues, events and activities from within the B4 network and beyond to write some reviews!
For those of you who don’t know me, I am a family solicitor and mediator, and I am also a Partner in specialist Family Law firm Boardman Hawkins & Osborne LLP – see www.bholegal.co.uk. However, alongside that role, I am also passionate about the arts and food, and have over the last two years started writing reviews for a Theatre Blog www.curtaincallreviews.co.uk
B4 and Curtain Call Reviews are linking up, so that any Oxfordshire Shows that I review for them will also go out on B4 newsletters and social media posts, but also we’re looking to widen the reach beyond theatre, and into hospitality and events.
If you are interested in joining this team, drop me an email to rhawkins@bholegal.co.uk
Likewise, if you are a restaurant, theatre, hotel or any other business that might like a review of an event or venue, send me or Richard an email.
