Brainchild

Hello friends, you may have noticed we’re a little quiet, and today we want to formally tell you that Brainchild is on hiatus. We won’t be running a 2023 festival, and we don't know when exactly our next events will be. Read our full statement here: bit.ly/3VCDLQT

@backeberg_laura Hi Laura, sorry we didn't see your tweets! We've not seen emails from you I don't think - would you mind sending direct to marina@brainchildfestival.co.uk so we can make sure we definitely get it?

These are very hard times to be putting on events, especially as independent artists or grassroots promoters, so all the support & commitment you can show the things you value by booking before the last minute will help them survive. So much love from all of us 🧡 (8/8)

We need to do some healing, processing and re-imagining, and although we don’t know when we’ll next be in the field together, this isn’t the end of Brainchild. We’ll still be running Digs on 14 May at the Fox & Firkin, we’d love to see friendly faces there to shake a leg. (7/8)

Brainchild 2022 is cancelled 💔 It is with the heaviest of hearts that we must tell you we’ve made the devastating decision to cancel Brainchild Festival 2022. The face value of all tickets will automatically be refunded in 7-14 working days. (1/8)

🕶 @rianna_simons - ʙᴀᴄᴋ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴀʙɪᴛ (ᴏꜰ ᴅᴏɪɴɢ ꜱᴛᴀɴᴅᴜᴘ ᴄᴏᴍᴇᴅʏ) In 2018 Rianna's Sixth Form College did Sister Act as their Christmas musical. Rianna didn't get to play Deloris. This is her revenge.

🎀 ɴᴀᴜɢʜᴛʏ - @annamariess A man once said to Anna Marie: “You look 15, but I like that. I like women that look young.” Anna Marie created Naughty because of this: a power game between the patriarchy and a 6 year old girl in pink crocs.
