Diving into the fascinating history of the Baldock Mail​

By Maureen Maddren

Influenced by the meeting of Bob Dylan and The Beatles, Irish duo Brothers Broke compare, adapt and perform a unique interpretation of songs by both artists.

This casual yet engaging show compares the like-minded and socially conscious lyrics of Dylan and Lennon. The duo modify and present the songs in a Blues / Folk style with tight sibling harmonies, around a story of the influence, jealousy, parody and respect that each artist had for the other.
