Welcome to our special guests

NEIL ROBINSON
Everton footballer and first vegan top flight player
Neil Robinson is a legend - not only did he play for one of the worlds greatest football teams Everton FC in the 70s (sharing a dressing room with the holy trinity of Kendall, Ball and Harvey, quite possibly the greatest club midfield ever to grace the top flight), but also even more incredible is the fact that Neil was the first ever footballer in the top flight to adopt a vegan diet - which he did in 1980. Neil played and trained on a vegan diet for a number of years (having gone veggie aged 13) and was the first player to demonstrate that a vegan diet could be actually an aid to being a professional football player at the top level - he was always one of the fittest at all his clubs. Neil is still vegan and passionate about the cause, and will be at VegfestUK Bristol on Sunday May 26th at 3pm as a guest of Tim Barford who will be presenting a talk on raw energy and hemp smoothies.

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. Macka B is also a patron of The Vegan Society and his vegan anthem Wha me eat is famed across the globe amongst vegan communities

RUTH SEMPLE VEGAN SOCIETY - TAKING THE SUNFLOWER TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Ruth Semple reveals how The Vegan Society is reaching for new heights.

TONY WARDLE (VIVA!) SAVING THE WORLD WITH YOUR KNIFE AND FORK
Tonys talk is called Saving the World With Your Knife and Fork and, one by one, he goes through the great environmental catastrophes that threaten the planet and brutally exposes how politics and profit are destroying our world. At the heart of almost every one is livestock farming. People keep talking but the trees keep falling; superbugs just keep on appearing; deserts keep on spreading, land keeps on degrading and the planet keeps on getting warmer - all (largely) thanks to livestock producers. www.viva.org.uk/campaigns/hot/dietofdisaster

DEAN BRACHER MOTIVATION AND CHANGE

Why in this day and age do we need to care? Well, with all the things going on around us then maybe its time we made a difference and acted on that desire for it to change.

In addition, Liz will outline the important next steps for CAPS campaigns to end the exploitation of captive animals. More details to be confirmed.

VICTORIA MARTINDALE WHO IS THE LAB RAT?

Victoria looks at the evidence to show how unscientific animal testing is. It is wasting millions of tax payers money while not delivering human health benefits and of course inflicts huge amounts of pain, suffering and death on countless animals in vain. The science shows that no amount of testing new drugs and human diseases on mice, rabbits and monkeys will predict the human response, so it begs the question, who is the real lab rat here?

HAYLEY DANN THE PRIMATE PET TRADE AND WHY IT MUST END - JOEYS STORY
A talk by Hayley Dann of leading primate charity, Wild Futures on the current state of the primate pet trade in the UK and the damaging effects it has on these intelligent, social and complex animals. Wild Futures runs The Monkey Sanctuary in Cornwall, the only accredited sanctuary in Europe. The Sanctuary is currently home to 36 monkeys, many ex-pets. www. wildfutures.org

LifeWells Expert Guest Speaker; Archaeologist, Anthropologist and Writer - William Bedford, explores a question he has been asking for years: why do we choose food the way we do, despite the health risks? For thousands of years humans have simply eaten whatever they could; are we just not ready for the choices the modern world gives us? Is the problem our Western diet or our Western Culture? A rare opportunity to gain from empowering insights into the driving influences of our culture.

lifestyle and sustainable living in an interactive workshop where everyone will be welcome to contribute. While there are a great many ways in which the two themes coincide, there are also times when we have to make difficult decisions in our lives.

This session might help us understand how to make personal decisions. www.facebook.com/makeyourhomeeco.bristol

Got The Facts On Milk? Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home

Got the Facts on Milk? is an entertaining, award-winning feature documentary that dares to question the conventional wisdom of the much publicized health benefits of milk and dairy products.

Forks Over Knives

Forks over Knivesexamines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. http://www.forksoverknives.com/

Peaceable Kingdom: the Journey Home explores the awakening conscience of several people who grew up in traditional farming culture and who have now come to question the basic assumptions of their way of life, providing insight into the farmers sometimes amazing connections with the animals under their care, while also making clear the complex web of social, psychological and economic forces that have led them to their present dilemma. http://www.peaceablekingdomfilm.org/

The Witness
The Witness follows a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighbourhood who explains with humour and sincerity how he feared and avoided animals for most of his life, until the love of a kitten opened his heart, inspiring him to rescue abandoned animals and bring his message of compassion to the streets of New York. http://www.witnessfilm.org/

Making the Connection Vegucated

Part sociological experiment and part adventure comedy, Vegucated follows 3 meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers who agree to adopt a plant-based diet for six weeks. Lured by tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover the hidden sides of animal agriculture that they eventually risk everything to expose. But is it easy for them to deal with customary get-togethers with carnivorous friends and relatives? This entertaining documentary showcases the rapid and at times comedic evolution of three people who discover they can change the world one bite at a time. www.getvegucated.com This 30-minute film Vegan Society production explores an exciting lifestyle which combines delicious, healthy food with tackling many of the ethical and global challenges facing us today and into the future. It explains how going plant-based is good for your health, good for the environment, good for the animals and can help to feed a growing world population. http://www.vegansociety.com/resources/making-theconnection.aspx

Simply Raw
Simply Raw follows 6 obese diabetic Americans as they undergo a 30-day detox program on a strictly raw wholefood plant-based diet. http://www.rawfor30days.com/themovie.html

Planeat
Planeat is the story of three mens life-long search for a diet which is good for our health, good for the environment and good for the future of the planet. With an additional cast of pioneering chefs and some of the best cooking you have ever seen, the scientists and doctors in the film present a convincing case for the West to re-examine its love affair with meat and dairy. http://planeat.tv/

AL & THE SUNFLOWERS

JOSH MILTON
Born the 14th May 1993, Josh was brought up in the quiet suburbs of Bristol in South West England. Musically Josh started playing guitar when he was little and it has probably been the one thing that he has stuck at doing. Since he started songwriting he has taken influence from a decent handful of artists, particularly from the likes of Ben Howard, Mumford & Sons and a little bit of old school Zepplin thrown in the mix too. Youd be forgiven for thinking its all about Alexandras looks and distinctive voice. But youd be missing the point... invest a little more time, listen a little deeper and youll realise its also about the clever, witty lyrics; the memorable melodies and the fabulous latin/jazz/swing flavoured arrangements from those talented Sunflowers! http://www.alsunflowers.com

MAE AND THE MIDNIGHT FAIRGROUND

Mae Karthauser (of Mae & The Midnight Fairground fame) boasts a collection of vibrant circus-esque songs that tell vivid stories of wayward characters both human and animal. Song and music is coupled with a distinctive twist of humour and eccentrically woven anecdotes (on topics as wide as resident ladybirds, the violent homeless, and literature for 8-10 year olds). Often shows come wildly embellished, dressed with magical theatrical elements and audience participation to create another world in which the boundaries of performer and spectator are miraculously blended... Whether alone, or surrounded by a troupe of anything up to ten musicians, dancers, acrobats and clowns, Mae Karthauser has audiences nestled playfully in the palm of her hand, as she strokes each one of them gently on the head, grinning like a badly behaved child in the chocolate aisle.

SUNDAY AMY YON

At only 19 that is a true accomplishment and as she enters her twenties she is developing her vocal structure and depth even more; as well as releasing her first EP.

GOAN DOGS
The Bristol five-piece, Goan Dogs, create a mature, intricate and cinematic sound born within the Citys rich musical heritage. Drawing influences from a wide artistic pool, the band has a gift for marrying seemingly opposed elements. The dusty vibes of Ry Cooder, Calexico and Tinariwen easily find a home with shades of 50s rockabilly, as does their focus on vocal harmonies and interesting melody.

JAYNE EDWARDS
Growing up in the faded seaside town of Rhyl in North Wales, Jayne Edwards grew up surrounded by a surreal and dying tourist trade. Writing throughout her teens, and performing stand up from the age of 20, she has developed into an interesting, intelligent and original act. Funny and very likeable, she has a quirky style that is brought to an audience with energy and confidence. Reminiscent of Josie Long and Isy Suttie, except I much preferred Jayne (Alchemy, Wolverhampton) Jayne was a total delight (Cradley Heath comedy club)

Viva! Special Offer for Vegfest - Half price membership and a FREE GIFT for the first 20 people who sign up on Saturday and Sunday.

JAMES HATELY
James is a weird and wonderful performer with a spindly pythonesque figure and a dazzling imagination. His act makes use of surreal logic and imagery to bring a magical quality to the everyday. James has appeared in the Magners Pub Comedian of the Year final and has performed twice at the Green Man Festival. www.comedycv.co.uk/jameshately

Bute Island

Bute Island are the proud creators of the Sheese brand of vegan cheeses, making all their products at their custom built factory on the beautiful Isle of Bute in Scotland. A variety of textures and flavours makes the Sheese range a must have product for many vegan households, and being dairy free is of course an excellent choice for those who are lactose intolerant too. Recently Bute island have brought out some new products - the brand new Melty, in two flavours (Mild Cheddar and Red Cheddar), which (as the title suggests) manages to melt most satisfactorily thereby making it a most excellent choice for pizzas, lasagnes and other dishes that require that essential ingredient - melting cheese. For years vegan have had to forgo this luxury but suddenly, just like the buses there are several really good plant based alternatives in the melting cheese department that have all come along at once, and once again Bute Island leads the way with this innovative, tasty and versatile product that takes another big leap forward into the world of cruelty free healthy options that will become the by word of the 21st century. The Bute Island team are more than just cheese producers though - one look at their website and you will see a plethora of philisophical and wise words and a deep underlying lifelong commitment to a world of peace, harmony and a plant based lifestyle that further deepens their credentials as one of the Worlds leading ethical and evry special companies - the real McCoy, as they say. And again Bute Island extend their wholehearted and generous support for VegfestUK Bristol for the 7th year running in the way of sponsorship anbd support. Events like this would never have survived this long without the support of producers like Bute Island and the vegan public especially should be full of respect for this beautiful bunch of individuals that make up the close knit team that is Bute Island. The Sheese product range includes

Frys

Frys

are a big brand - and completely free from any animal products, making them one of the worlds market leaders in plant based foods. The Frys brand is distributed in the UK by the wonderful Pat and Lisa Drummy who between them (and with a little help from the family) have ensured that Frys products are just about everywhere in the UK, giving hundreds of thousands of vegans and millions of veggies, as well as millions of meat reducers, a truly satisfactory meat substitute that stands out in its own right as a flavoursome, incredible textured range of burgers, pies, nuggets, sausages, schnitzels and other truly wondrous creations. The stand out product (and quite possibly their best seller) is the incomparable Frys chicken burger - a sublime creation that has a verve and satisfaction that you need from a burger - and if one aint enough, try a double (as you do) with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, chilli and garlic - its our favourite dish in the VegfestUK offices. The other most recent addition to the Frys stable that has caused a lot of excitement in the office are the new Frys pies - a pepper and steak version and a mushroom one. Now it has to be said that the cooking of said pies does take a bit of practise but we have perfected the art and often indulge in these wholesome, tasty and satisfying creations that do a lot lot more than just fill the gap. The pepper steak ones just shade it in our humble opinion but both are very very

good and completely put to shame the concept of a meat pie that includes goodness knows what. Frys are available in the freezer section of all good independent health stores as well as most branches of Holland and Barrett, and they are now distributed by 3663 which means that you can access Frys products in hospitals, schools, prisons universities - indeed any practically any institutions across the UK, such is the spread of 3663 distribution. So Frys are good, Frys are good, and are now available just about everywhere. Result for veggies, vegans, meat reducers and healthy livers everywhere. Frys continue to support our events with a relish, having been with us since day one. Our deepest thanks once again to this most lovely family outfit, they have stood by us through thick and thin and deserve much credit for their wholehearted support for the UK veggie/vegan scene - big part.
