The three-man team, comprising Dean Howell, Neil Robinson, and Tris West, aim to raise funds and awareness for some amazing charities, promoting true health/nutrition, humanitarian, environmental and anti-animal exploitation causes. All donations will make a far reaching difference on many levels to these causes. We are incredibly fortunate to live in such an abundant environment, free to express ourselves, access to huge resources and live peaceful lives. This is nothing short of a luxury in this world in contrast with the billions of suffering, starving people and animals whose voices and pain are unheard and unexpressed. We all sleep under the same stars at night and breathe the same air; we all have a right to discover our potential and purpose. Please support us on this epic challenge & adventure and choose the cause that resonates with you. To find out more, visit www.veganathletesforpeace.com. A Well-Fed World Ethiopian School Lunch Programme (joint with International Fund for Africa) AWFW have recently partnered with the International Fund for Africa to implement a long-term daily vegan meal plan and basic health services in two schools in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. Current food availability in many Ethiopian schools is sporadic and inadequate. Many children go without food and teachers even give some of their own limited pay to help. AWFW’s partnership with IFA is developing a vegetable garden and building bakeries to increase onsite food availability, and to generate income for long-term supplementation and selfsustainability. Fortunately, because of Ethiopia’s large Orthodox population (who have long and dispersed periods of ‘vegan’ fasting), schools sometimes default to serving vegan food year-round, so no special permissions or procedures for vegan school lunches are required. The program’s successes will be used to model improvements for other schools around the city. For full details about the school lunch programme, visit their website www.awfw.org/ethiopia Collections will be made on exit on both May 23rd 24th at VegfestUK Bristol in support of this wonderful food initiative – please give generously, thanks!

A veteran of the early 90s club scene, she’s played across Europe, at festivals including Bestival, and for many years had a monthly DJ residency at London’s legendary Foundry.

MC Ribbz LTJ Bukem LTJ Bukem took the drum and bass concept from a small venue off London’s Charing Cross Road to the nation’s superclubs and then onto the international stage. His records launched breakbeat into a brand new galaxy of sound, and he writes ‘Renaissance man for a digital age’. The man known to his friends as Danny Williamson is the living embodiment of the post-acid house entrepreneurial creative spirit. He is a mild mannered energy flash whose panoramic musical vision has found success in every area he has explored, lighting the way with little more than a zest for life and a love of music. twitter.com/therealLTJbukem facebook.com/therealdannyltjbukem Ian Silk Reggae artist Ian Silk is originally known by the name Kayton Barrett and grew up in the parish of St Elizabeth, Jamaica in a town called Chocolate Hole. From the age of 10, Ian’s first inspiration came from singing at home with his cousin Dennis who played the drums whilst Ian Silk sang. Alfredo Alfredo’s illustrious DJ career spans almost 30 years, including famously his residency at Amnesia in Ibiza in 1984-1989, spreading his own brand of Ibiza sound, strongly influencing the likes of Danny Rampling, Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway, who brought his new Balearic sound back to the UK. Throughout his lengthy career, he has been awarded numerous awards, including DJ of the Decade in internationally renowned DJ Magazine. He was also the first DJ ever to receive an award at the Middem Awards in Cannes. More recently, in the 2005 Ibiza DJ Awards, he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award. alfredoibiza.com In the mid 80’s, Ian wrote his first song called ‘Leave her alone’, little did he know that this song would be released nearly 20 years later on his first album ‘ Higher Heights’. Song writing was a way of him expressing life experiences that he had encountered. His song writing naturally progressed onto recording his songs at a popular recording studio in Jamaica. Ian has been singing alongside veteran reggae artist ‘Jimmy London’ performing in Bristol as part of the launch of a new monthly social night at the Kuumba Community Centre, by local community member ‘R.O.O.T.S Shea Butter Trust & Kuumba Community Centre’. Flexi D Flexi D is a shining star of reggae music with over 20 years’ experience. With an eye for talent and an ear tuned to the audience, he has made a name for himself promoting his love for Reggae. Flexi D was born Dennis Newell in Chocolate Hole District, St Elizabeth Jamaica. He knows how to harness the sun, beach and energy of his roots to get the most out of his audience. From the early age of ten, Ian Silk and Flexi D started putting their music together with Ian singing and Flexi D playing drums to an enthusiastic audience. Having an evolving appreciation of the “feel-good factor” has brought Flexi D commercial success worldwide. idiotech In 2004, idiotech achieved notoriety with his remix of The Prodigy’s “Girls”, featured on the unofficial download album “Always Outsiders, Never Outdone” (a mashed-up and remixed version of their “Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned” album). Since then, he has completed a number of official remixes for a range of major and independent label artists, receiving praise from DJs such as Norman Cook and Mark Moore. idiotech was included in the Xfm / Wall Of Sound “A-Z of DJs”, playing at Cargo alongside everyone from Arthur Baker to Zoot Woman. Other notable DJ gigs have seen him play The Secret Garden Party, The Egg, Concorde2, and a headline slot at 93 Feet East. And his DJ sets have been broadcast on national radio. 14 | VegfestUK Wonderpig Wonderpig is a retired superhero cartoon pig that lives in the VegfestUK offices, having been adopted in 2007.

Survey results indicate that: tangible vegan solutions to the food sustainability problem. General Election year also called for a Party Political Conference at which the UK’s major political parties presented their manifestos and engaged in debates on vegan issues. Along the sustainability thread was a Hemp Expo with industry leaders and notable hemp businesses presenting their expertise on hemp. - nearly 50% of our visitors were new to VegfestUK - nearly 1,000 visitors decided to go vegan afterwards - another 2,000 are moving towards veganism - approximately 90% of all visitors are coming back next year Plus there were over a dozen vegan comedians providing our crowd with plenty of humour and laughter. Add these to the rich mélange of 15 specialist vegan caterers, nearly 200 stalls, dozens of talks and cookery demos, kids cookery classes, a cinema among many other activities, and visitors to the event have well and truly been armed with a wealth of knowledge on how to go and stay vegan. We’re absolutely over the moon with both our attendance figures and the statistics gathered from our survey. It has always been our ultimate aim to convince the general public to go vegan through our events. In years gone by, our combination of food, comedy and music has worked a treat in making veganism more accessible to the public. Nowadays, however, going vegan has actually got really sexy, and we believe that there has never been a better time than right now to up our emphasis on vegan education and put out a consistent message to the public to go vegan. If you wish to learn more about going vegan or convincing others to follow suit, check out our 3 upcoming shows in 2015 – Bristol (May 23rd 24th), London (October 10th 11th) and Scotland (December 5th 6th).
