When Judas Met John: Songs of Dylan and Lennon
Herne Bay Little Theatre, Herne Bay, CT6 8UH
Friday 16th October 2026
Brothers Broke bring their excellently reviewed show from the Edinburgh Fringe to Herne Bay Little Theatre in Kent, exploring the intriguing relationship between Bob Dylan and John Lennon through the songs of both artists. If you thought you knew everything about Dylan and Lennon, think again. Why did Dylan keep it to himself that he really dug The Beatles? And why was Lennon at first, in awe of Dylan only to deride him shortly afterwards?
The choice and presentation of songs tells a story around the influence, envy, parody and respect that each artist had for the other. It’s a unique in-person performance of a thought-provoking concept. This show is charismatic in its offering of subtle ‘sibling’ harmonies supported by acoustic folk and blues guitar and harmonica, adding musical personality and character by way of interpretation of the works of both these legendary artists. If you savour Dylan and Lennon and appreciate a raw, direct acoustic folk/blues style, you should relish the opportunity to see and hear this Irish duo’s interpretations.
