Vegan music
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.

Me on a cake
Last night marked the 4th year anniversary of (and final outing for) London Vegan Potluck. After four fabulous years, I decided to bring the monthly food happening to an end.
We went out with a bang.
Check out this HUGE vegan Victoria sponge cake presented to me by Mellissa Morgan of Ms. Cupcake. It had an edible version of my face on it!
Rock Queer is coming
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
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!
To 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.
What you might not have given much thought to is the fact that it isn’t just about booze. We also like to eat.
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:
Beer sampling
You all know about Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch this Saturday, right?
The brand new weekly event is all about soul food, cocktails, craft beer and rock ‘n’ roll music played by our DJ. It is set to become a London favourite in the Vegbar venue on Tulse Hill in Brixton.
You can click here to read all about the event, including info about the mouthwatering food set to be served.
OK. That’s out of the way. Now for the reason for this blog post.
I am thrilled to welcome Clarkshaws Brewing as the first-ever special guest at Rock ‘n’ Roll Vegan Brunch on Saturday April 18, 2015.
Who are Clarkshaws? I’ll let them tell you!
Vegan Roadshow
Roll up. Roll up. Fat Gay Vegan is hitting the road this summer.
I am thrilled to announce my first ever Vegan Roadshow, a collaboration between musicians, activists, food providers, music venues and me.
The idea is simple.
This is it
Stick a fork in London Vegan Potluck. It’s done.
There has never been a vegan community event like London Vegan Potluck and it will be a long time until we see the likes of it again, if ever. It stands unrivalled.
At its height, more than 100 people were filling our central London location with a wide range of plant-based dishes every month. We started with just 20 people back in May 2011 in Brixton and we are finishing with a bang in May 2015 in Holborn.
