Vegan Business Owner Brings Band To North London

by

Dauns is a much-loved Scandi vegan cafe in London. Their brunch plates are legendary and the regular clientele couldn’t be convinced to go anywhere else for their daily coffee and pastries.

The brains and muscle behind Dauns is Rickard. He cooks. He cleans. He does all the behind the scenes magic to make Dauns work.

But did you know Rickard is also a member of a band which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a gig in North London this May?

Is Chappell Roan Entitled To Privacy?

Josh and I are back with another episode of our weekly podcast.

In this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), we chat about the recent controversy surrounding pop star Chappell Roan and how the public often overstep boundaries with famous people.

We discuss our recent experiences at Lily Allen concerts (Josh in London, me in Sheffield) and consider the terrifying reality of living with AI. Our discussion touches on an animal rights activist who was singled out by security using facial recognition technology.

Do You Know My Friend Josh?

by

Today I wanted to take a few moments of your time to draw attention to a song called Empty Seat and the person behind it.

The song feels especially poignant to me because it was written and performed by my friend Josh, who many of you will know was my partner for twenty years. The song is an emotional look at the end of our relationship as it morphed into an ongoing friendship and how Josh managed to process the emotions around it.

Open Mic Event In South London

by

If you’re looking for a night of Queer creativity, community, and good vibes, you need to get yourself to Queer Open Mic this Sunday in South London.

I started the open mic about two years ago with my friend Josh as we wanted to create a safe and supportive space for LGBTQ+ performers in London because, let’s be real, not all open mic nights are as welcoming as they should be.

A World Famous Drag Artist And A Chubby Vegan Walk Into A Takeaway Shop

by

Worshipping celebrity vegans can often be a problematic endeavour.

Holding up and celebrating famous people as vegans has often come back to bite our community in the backside.

Miley was championed as an ethical vegan for years right up until she went on the Joe Rogan podcast to tell the world she was eating animals again.

One of my childhood heroes, Drew Barrymore, also went down a similar route. Drew lived as a vegan for years but over the past decade or more had dipped in and out of plant-based eating sporadically. The superstar does promote a lot of vegan food, but it feels as though the argument for ethical veganism is somewhat diluted by her suggesting it’s cool to chop and change on a whim.

I am not really here to drag ex-vegan celebrities (and I do still love both of the mentioned performers. I mean, Flowers is a fabulous song), rather I’d love to shout out a vegan celebrity I feel more comfortable endorsing.

So take a look at who I bumped into yesterday at legendary vegan fried chicken shop, Temple of Seitan.

New Podcast Episode – Number 30

by

It’s that time of the week again.

My ex-partner Josh and I got together again online to discuss a few pop culture moments and in this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast, we both get a little bit worked up about Emilia Pérez.

We discuss out collective disbelief at the huge number of Academy Award nominations this film has garnered, as we both feel it is one of the worst movies we have ever seen.

Truly shocking.

There are a few other pop culture moments discussed in the episode such as legendary award show musical performances, as well as Josh’s ongoing fight against his chest infection! Is everyone in the UK seriously unwell, or just everyone I know?
