VegfestUK | 5 Pig Freud fronts “Vegan - Justice for All” poster campaign in Bristol Pink fluffy cartoon superhero Pig Freud - pop star, The FxEctive Factor contestant and a charity fundraiser for VegfestUK Ltd - has revealed his new posters for a hardhitting “Vegan – Justice for All” campaign to appear in Bristol just before VegfestUK Bristol. Pig Freud chose the Bristol Rovers vs AFC Wimbledon football match to launch his campaign which will see a large number of billboards appearing within the Bristol area, with challenging and clear messages about the use and misuse of animals in our society today. The groundbreaking “Vegan - Justice for All” campaign aims to help stimulate discussion amongst people about the property status of animals. Should we not be looking at animals as persons, and in doing so reject the concept of ownership of animals? Is it right that we should enslave animals for our use and our abuse?’ 70 billion land animals are killed every year, and this violence has got to stop. By going vegan, you’re not only giving justice for animals, www.vegfest.co.uk people and the planet, but you’re also improving your health, and improving the environment, and helping improve sustainable food production. These are all great things, but the bottom line is we should go vegan as the very least we can do for animals. Pig Freud is fronting a crowdfunder appeal to raise funds to launch a further vegan billboard campaign in Bristol in May 2016, to coincide with the huge VegfestUK Bristol event on May 21st 22nd at the Amphitheatre which regularly attracts 15,000 people. The pig aims to fundraise in and around Bristol over the next 2 months to help see his poster campaign and billboard campaign extend further and everyone is welcome to help.

While researching its origins, I became fascinated and inspired by the history of the Waltz and its social and cultural significance.” www.adamskiofficial.com www.vegfest.co.uk Maxquerade Playing for events such as Magna Carta, Apex, Switch, Troupe & Simple.

Macka B Macka.B is one of Britain’s most influential dancehall toasters, pushing the music back toward a Rastafarian political consciousness. His rough, gravely vocals give him an instantly identifiable sound. Although the vast majority of Macka B’s material is devoted to spiritual and social messages, he also lightens the mood with perceptive, humorous material. He has shunned aspirations for a commercial crossover, however, staying true to the sound and spirit of his roots but playing shows worldwide to likeminded followers. www.mackab.com 10 | VegfestUK 6:00-9:00 Headsessions Sound Stereo MC’s Andy Compton Deeply prolific Bristol-based house connoisseur Andy Compton has released over 30 albums and over 135 EPs (either under his own name or as part of his legendary group The Rurals, COMPTON or L.A.M.P) on his essential Peng label and imprints like Ralf GUM’s GOGO Music, Chicago’s LARGE Music, Seasons, Viva, Hed Kandi and many others.

And, the “Experience Peng” tripple pack CD is now available on Universal. Also, watch out for his newest solo album “Ubuntu” which has hit the streets. www.soundcloud.com/andycompton Buskers Stage Sabrina Chyld UK based Singer/Songwriter Sabrina Chyld originally established her sound from her early musical background and development of Jazz, Soul and Funk, a fusion that took place over twenty years ago. This journey took Sabrina’s sound to the unique consciousness of ‘Low Fat Self Esteem’ and the politically delicate subject matter of abuse within a relationship & the awareness with ‘Blood on our hands’, a collaborative body of work with Ronnie Wilson, Wayne Hernandez and Mark Herman. www.vegfest.co.uk Born out of the mid 80’s inspirational Hip Hop scene and the DIY UK acid house / club scene, Stereo MC’s reputation grew slowly throughout the late 80’s. They started an underground dance label, releasing diverse artists from Richie Rich to the Jungle Brothers as well as their own records before being picked up by Island Records. They performed live extensively and supported groups such as De La Soul, A Certain Ratio, EMF and U2 and did US and UK tours with The Happy Mondays. After early chart success in America for their second LP Supernatural, they recorded the Album ‘Connected’ which became an international hit. They embarked on a huge touring schedule including memorable appearances at Glastonbury and many other festivals worldwide. This period culminated with a Mercury prize nomination and 2 Brit awards for Best Album and Best Live Act. www.connected.co.com www.vegfest.co.uk Headsessions Sound Headsessions Soundsystem is a Southamton based dub collective.

Expect a set of their own songs heard at many festivals around Europe ,mixed in with some of their favourite punk and folk songs and even some folkdisco! https://soundcloud.com/tarantismuk There’s a breed of artists and musicians who express truth in their art, sounds and perhaps their lives. Artists you can feel life’s pain, love, concern, passing fancies, mess-ups and become part of the atmospheres in which these toil. Howlin’ Lord is one of these souls. After what is probably his most accomplished work 2011’s Gold Fury and then the surreal and gut smashing grit of last year’s bare-bones Breakfast of Champions, It would seem that H’L would need to cool down.

His workshop will discuss how to be a successful activist and how to communicate with the public and your peers. What’s the most important thing the vegan movement can do? Get more active (and ethical) vegans, right? However, vegans are constantly being encouraged to support vegetarian and now reducetarian campaigns. This session argues that the small numbers of vegans ought to campaign for veganism: for what we actually want. There are more vegetarians and reducetarians than vegans: let them do their own campaigning after all, they are unlike to campaign for veganism. http://veganinformationproject.cf Vegan Geezer effectiveness of YouTube for vegan activists With social media becoming the new mainstream form of information and communication, YouTube has become an excellent platform to spread a message worldwide, with the potential to reach millions. What better message to spread than veganism?

One person screens Earthlings which we play on a speaker. We have people speaking to the crowd, educating them and answering any questions they have on veganism. We have amazing feedback from these types of demos. 26 | VegfestUK Vegan Chef Day - Vegan Cooking as Animal Activism Dr. Roger Yates - Setting up and running a vegan gazebo info point Public education about the philosophy of veganism is very important. One of the best things we can do as vegan activists is to get out into our communities and talk to people about the justice-for-all stance of veganism. This session uses the experiences of two Irish groups (Vegan Education on the Go and Vegan Information Project) as case studies. http://veganinformationproject.cf Examining our inter-relationship with animals as we enter Vegantopia. They deserve lives beyond the enslavement of rescued pet status, or close confinement in sanctuaries. Nothing less than dedicated, protected, natural, free spaces with their own kind, with humans covertly providing food, environment and essential health care whilst leaving them in peace and rewilded independence. www.vegantopia.co.uk Tim Barford - PR and promotion for vegan campaigns Tim looks at the importance of promoting vegan activism and how best to do it....including an examination of the effectiveness of professional PR campaigns, advertising, blogging and social media.

This informal interactive seminars answer questions like: Do you want to be a vegan but don’t know how? Are you bored of eating the same thing over and over again? Would you like a list of ten things to know before becoming vegan? Do you need a meal planner and some tasty recipes? Want to know how vegans get their protein? www.KirlySuesKitchen.co.uk We all want to spread the word and encourage more people to go vegan, but sometimes it can be hard to get people to listen. So how do we get our message across and turn those words into action? In this interactive workshop, Animal Aid’s Ben Martin looks at the best ways of reaching out to people and spreading the compassionate message of veganism. www.animalaid.org.uk 28 | VegfestUK Rights of animals is an area often overlooked by vegan campaigners, and especially those within the main National groups. Tim talks about effective ways to incorporate a rights and justice message into vegan campaigning, and examines the importance of this issue within a social justice context. Suitable for both National and Grassroots vegan outreach groups and individuals, and currently often missed off the agenda. Dr. Roger Yates Pro-Intersectional Veganism and What this means to grassroots vegan activists Beata Ciupińska - Awakening compassion This presentation will be about compassion towards animals and human beings and how important it is to be positive, to respect the people and to believe in the change. Some photos from Awakening Compassion demos can be found on the We Are The Numbers page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/we.are.the.growing.numbers The idea of intersectionality is certainly creating waves in the animal movement and beyond. How can we approach the basic idea that forms of oppression are interlinked and entangled and make this a central part of how we discuss justice-for-all veganism? http://veganinformationproject.cf Dr. Roger Yates - An Introduction to the Controversial idea of Animal Rights Dean Bracher Speaking in Schools/ Colleges and other places on veganism For the last 10 years I have been giving vegan presentations in educational facilities. WIth a non judgmental approach and understanding of the audience we can really get through a powerful and thoughtful promotion of veganism. An informal workshop that will suit those looking to inspire others, educate society and move things forward. www.vegansociety.com Tim Barford - The importance of rights in a social justice movement Andrew Garner - Manchester Pig Save movement Manchester Pig Save is the first UK group of the ‘Save movement’. We hold vigils for pigs being transported to slaughter. By bearing witness together we expose the suffering of animals that is usually hidden from view. The goals are to inspire more people to be compassionate, and go vegan. www.facebook.com/ManchesterPigSave www.vegfest.co.uk No-one in the human rights movement would feel compelled to say that they are a “rights-based human rights advocate.” That would sound absurd. However, anyone wanting to make clear that the philosophy of animal rights is important needs to use a title like “rights-based animal rights.” This session explores how and why the animal movement is a philosophical mess. It has been that way for years yet seems to function adequately. Perhaps there is no “problem” after all? Does it even matter whether animal advocates have a philosophical position that guides their words and actions? http://veganinformationproject.cf www.vegfest.co.uk Christopher-Sebastian McJetters Veganism is easy...except for when it isn’t An honest conversation about circumstances that make veganism a challenge. How to overcome those challenges in order to stay vegan.

VeggieVision TV is packed with fun, interesting and hilarious clips from all over the world – addressing the fact that here in the UK there are no veggie/vegan TV programmes. Thinking of going vegan or just want some healthier options? Vegetarian or Vegan and need some inspiration? Then you have come to the right place – VeggieVision TV! After spending time and money getting a veggie TV programme off the ground and being told that ”It’s ahead of its time” and too much of a “niche” market, Karin Ridgers realised that she needed to think… “How can I get a positive, veggie friendly TV programme off of the ground”, rather than “It’s never going to work!” (With many thanks Tony Robbins, American Peak Performance Coach.) And she thought of the internet. Well this was before You Tube and Facebook too! 60 | VegfestUK Please check out VeggieVision.tv for vegan cookery - their growing number of film clips show you tasty vegan recipes step by step.
