About Brothers Broke
When Judas Met John: Songs of Dylan and Lennon is a 50-minute acoustic folk and blues music show at Theatre 1, part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Irish duo Brothers Broke compare the like-minded and socially conscious lyrics of Dylan and Lennon, addressing key questions about their relationship: why was Lennon in awe of Dylan only to deride him years later, and why did Dylan keep to himself that he really dug the Beatles? The duo compare, adapt and perform a unique interpretation of songs by both artists in their own acoustic folk and blues style. Tickets are £14 with a concession of £12, suitable for ages 8 and over.
Why see this show?
Brothers Broke do more than cover songs — they put Dylan and Lennon in conversation with each other, using acoustic folk and blues to explore why these two artists both admired and kept their distance. A thoughtful 50-minute set for music lovers.
