Fortunately, I have never been visited by the Brain Fairy, leastways, not that I am going to own up to, since I have discovered in the past week that I personally know two of the contributors to this thread, (one of whom is the instigator). IMHO the Brain Fairy is sponsored by whichever brewer happens to be picking up the tab for whichever festival it is you happen to be attending.

As for Seaford Folk Club, if you permit performers to consume any of the ales brewed in Sussex, then you must expect the consequences. Over here in Florida we drink Budweiser, with never a hint of a visit from the Brain Fairy.
