London can you wait?

Vegan music

by

Music is one of my great loves, as is veganism. How cool that I get to combine the two!

As you know (because I never shut up about it), I am taking Australian band Love Like Hate on the road around the UK this July. Animal Equality are joining us for the shows calling at Nottingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Oxford and London.

The final night of the tour is taking place at 100% vegan restaurant and nightspot, Kabaret. Of course we will be giving massive love to Love Like Hate before they fly back to Australia, but I’ve added another band to this final show line up and believe me when I say you don’t want to miss out.

Colour Me Wednesday are a fab independent punk/indie/pop band from West London. To put it in simple terms: they are fucking awesome.

Check out this insanely enjoyable song and music video.

Colour Me Wednesday aren’t just pumping out killer tunes, they are also dedicated vegans with a distinct disliking of sexism. They are my type of people.

July 31, 2015 is serving up probably the best vegan value you are gonna get for many years to come. I’ll be hosting. Two vegan bands will be storming through the entertainment. Animal Equality will be selling merchandise and signing people up. A DJ will be taking over the stage following the bands. Buy your ticket in advance and you also get two EP downloads from Love Like Hate!

All of this for just £5. I’m not fucking kidding you. Just £5.

You gotta book a ticket today. We are using funds raised to pay for the UK tour so please encourage friends to grab some tickets, too.

If you can’t make it to the final London date but would like to support the Vegan Roadshow tour, visit our Indiegogo campaign page to make a donation. Every single donation helps.

New vegan cake in Brixton

by

I was stumbling away from Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch yesterday when I noticed a new store situated just a few steps down Tulse Hill (five doors away from Veg Bar) in Brixton.

Health and Pastry looked to be a small health food store with some interesting groceries, so I popped in for a quick inspection.

To my complete surprise, I was greeted by the following sight.

Rock Queer is coming

by

Need another event in your life?

Coming very soon to London is a brand new weekly event that just happens to be in a 100% vegan venue.

Rock Queer is a space for LGBT Londoners and their friends to enjoy guitar, rock, metal, alternative and indie music. The event is taking over the downstairs nightclub underneath Veg Bar at 45 Tulse Hill, Brixton.

But there is a twist to this weekly event. Rock Queer takes place in the day.

Calling on the long-loved tradition of day clubs and Sunday afternoon sessions, Rock Queer will run at its Brixton location between 1pm and 7pm. The first-ever outing for Rock Queer takes place on Sunday May 31, 2015 and continues every week.

The bar will be stocked with ice cold beer and every drink sold is set to be 100% vegan. Hungry? Head upstairs to Veg Bar for delicious dishes all day long.

Rock Queer is THE queer alternative. Make Sunday just that little bit louder.

Veg Bar goes vegan

by

Breaking news rarely comes bigger than when a vegetarian venue turns vegan. It’s a big deal around these parts. Just see here and here for recent examples.

We got another one, people!

Veg Bar on Tulse Hill in Brixton has only been open for slightly longer than a month, but already the management felt it was time for a change. As of Thursday May 7, 2015 the south London restaurant and bar will be 100% vegan.

Amazing!

vegbarlogoTo celebrate this monumental shift, I am helping Veg Bar throw a giant celebration on their first vegan day and we want you to be at the party.

All you need to do is reserve a free ticket.

Eat at drinks

London Vegan Drinks is a super fun monthly party, as you know.

Turn up tomorrow (Saturday May 2, 2015) from 6pm for London Vegan Drinks at Kabaret @ Karamel in Wood Green and you will be met by the following menu:

Unexpected cake

by

Vegan cake can appear when you least expect it.

I was strolling through the food hall at the Barbican Centre a few evenings back when I was caught unawares by the following sight.

It’s not every day you accidentally stumble across a few slices of chocolate and cherry vegan cake. It feels like even more of a rare feat for this to occur inside one of the most esteemed concert venues in the UK.

Yay for random vegan cake!
