Man, I have to give it up to this group of young people for daring to dream big and making it happen. Sometimes even money isn’t an issue when you have the vision and are willing to put in the hard work to make it come to life. This is what Brainchild Festival is all about; founded by a group of socially conscious students who’s goal is to nurture and support local artists in the young musical landscape in Britain, taking a risk and being empowered by current affairs and relevant topics that are relevant to the younger generation. No YOLO nonsense here. More information on the reverse.

 “Validating the power of DIY through a crash course in big event planning, we’re already proving what’s possible when you put in the hard work. Our financial budget has been meagre but inspiration and motivation has driven this project to the success it’s set to be.”  - Marina Blake, Brainchild Festival Director
