ChrisCross, Mavin and Timba - original ClubYeyo DJ's from back in the day
These three musical gurus have between them the complete kitty when it comes to phat beats, original house, balearic, chill, funk, drum and bass, indie classics, Ibiza anthems, ska, reggae, ragga, trip and hip hop,   and some grooves so rare the likes of which if you can still remember then you cant have been there! The Bristol Vegan Fayre is guaranteed to have the best toons all weekend than any other festival on the face of the planet. ClubYeyo was THE clubnite in Bristol to be at back in the early nineties when the Thekla used to rock to the sound of pure decadence, indulgence and pleasure. There just wasn't anything quite like it.....until now as 3 of   the original founding members of the ClubYeyo massive reunite to ensure Bristol City Centre is awash with aural ecstasy for two whole days.

CHRISCROSS -BRISTOL DJ LEGEND
DJ ChrisCross came to Bristol from London via the free festival/Stonehenge circuit of the early 80's. One third of the original Yeyo movement, Chris was encouraged to start ClubYeyo by Massive Attack's   Daddy G after 400 friends (or is that fiends) came to his 21 st birthday party at the then Moon Club (now Lakota). ClubYeyo was without a shadow the best night out in Bristol in the early 90's and the nite was a regular fixture in both Amsterdam and Cork too. Chris is currently involved in various events, mainly fundraisers & is looking forward to this & future vegan fayres.

Right at the heart of the show is the Acoustic Stage, next to the main Information Office, near the Tea Rooms and the Kids Area.

Denise Morgan
Denise has worked with labels such as Grand Central Records, is currently working with Manchester-based label, Fatnorthener Records and has co-wrote and featured on Rob Smith's new Album, 'In One Way or Another', which is currently released in Japan. According to Julian Homer - Playtime band night - Chorlton, 'She was great backstage, a quirky, amusing person but I had yet to hear her sing. After the second line of her opening song I noticed the room had fallen silent. Her voice was and still is the most remarkable voice I've heard at my night. Absolute class, why she wasn't already signed to major label, I didn't know - She's got this amazing voice and these amazingly heart felt, wear your ex boyfriend on your sleeve type songs. Her name should be Denise Franklin after Aretha. One day she'll change it.

All vegan, all truly exceptional - a must see exhibition of masters at work.
