So come and support the return of the People’s Kitchen and help turn it into a regular event again.

The event will raise ABC funds for our fallen friend and Comrade who passed away earlier this year. Profits will go to prisoners he was in contact with and supporting from outside the cage, who need funds as their legal aid has been dropped. For more information you can keep an eye on this site and come along to one of our next Cardiff ABC meetings.

The Red and Black Umbrella Collective Cordially Invite you to our Two Year Anniversary Birthday Shenanigans….

If you’re organised enough to carry ’round a diary (I am definitely not) penciling in the
1st AND 2nd of November is highly advisable as it will see our first festival!

A two day event ending on the 2nd November to celebrate 2 YEARS of the occupied building in Cardiff. Easy enough to remember, right?

Beginning as a vague plan to host an Anarcho-Folk festival in Cardiff; the event has now evolved into a two day celebration of the ‘Brolly. EATCAKE
The space it has provided us has been invaluable to many, so we invite anyone and everybody who has shared the space with us to come, in particular any guests we have had to stay, musicians who’ve played and individuals who’ve led any lessons or workshops. Please come and celebrate with us!
This is an open event and will be donation upon entry to pay the acts who are travelling. Any excess money donated to us will go towards Cardiff squat funds and to Freedom Press Bookshop (who are still raising money to repair their shop and replace up to 700 books lost after fascists petrol-bombed their shop earlier this year).
Nobody will be refused entry if they cannot pay.

We will be releasing more information over the next two weeks to keep you all in suspense, just know that you will need your best dancing boots and both headliners will be supported by amazing local acts and musicians.

If you would like to play at the festival, run a stall or workshop on either of the days get in touch.
Also, any help with cooking or supplying skipped/vegan food for the festival would be much appreciated as we will have many mouths to feed!

Doors TBA
Drink tolerated after 7pm, Drunkenness not.
No drugs, no thugs!

Love and Peas, Emy xx

Vegan Pot Luck & Open Mic Night

This Wednesday 20th Feb. @ 7pm the social centre will be open for a vegan pot luck dinner night. Bring a dish to share if you can, but don’t worry if you can’t, everyone is free to come and eat. Dinner will be followed/accompanied by music and other wonders in the form of an open mic. Bring along your instrument/voice/talent/party trick to share with everyone. There will be some instruments available if you are not able to bring your own, if you play a string instrument you’ll probably find one at the Red and Black.
