Event Details
Listed by Counter Culture as one of “five shows not to be missed at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe,” we are thrilled to confirm this popular and excellently reviewed show will be playing at the Shaftesbury Arts Centre on 9th May 2026. Written and presented by Irish duo Brothers Broke, the brothers strip bare a carefully selected repertoire of Dylan and Lennon songs, and present them raw and unplugged around a story of the influence, jealousy, parody and respect that each artist had for the other.
This engaging show compares the like-minded and socially conscious lyrics of Dylan and Lennon and deals with the relevance of their political messaging, written up to sixty years ago, in today’s world. It also addresses key questions regarding their relationship – why was Lennon in awe of Dylan only to deride him years later? And why did Dylan keep it to himself that he “Really dug the Beatles”?
The show has been described as “a must-see for anyone who appreciates the power of music to evoke emotions, inspire reflection, and shed light on the socio-political landscape”.
Whether you’re looking for a raw and energetic acoustic performance of some great Dylan and Lennon songs or wish to appreciate a unique in-person performance of a thought-provoking concept, this show is for you.
The show is a proud holder of the coveted “Sell-out Show” Laurel awarded by Edinburgh Fringe.

A wild ride of a film, mixing violence and humour, with an incredible score.DiCaprio plays a drug-befuddled and paranoid ex-revolutionary, forced back into combat when a corrupt military officer starts to pursue him and his daughter. A fast-moving intricate plot, with plenty of allusions to Trump’s America, and a huge box-office success, likely (at the time of writing) to be an Oscar-winner.

Event Details
The Budapest Café Orchestra were established by British composer and violinist Christian Garrick in 2009. Led by Christian they play a blistering barrage of traditional folk and gypsy-flavoured music from across the Balkans and Russia, Klezmer laments, Romanian Doinas, Hungarian Czardas and their own unique re-imaginings of some of the biggest pieces ever written by the greats.
BCO have won legions of fans through their magical and infectious performances. Evoking vivid images of Tzigane fiddle maestros, Budapest café life and gypsy campfires – plus a few surprises along the way – hugely entertaining, immense skill and profound musicianship. A show by the BCO is good enough to make you want to book that holiday down the Danube!
The BCO is a small but impeccably formed orchestra of just four players combined to create an aural alchemy so wholesome you would be forgiven for thinking a far bigger ensemble is at work. Two of the country’s most revered international soloists revel at the heart of proceedings. Accordionist exemplar Eddie Hession is a supreme accordion champion of Great Britain. In his illustrious career he has accompanied Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Chris Rea. Christian Garrick is one of the world’s most celebrated jazz violinists. He has played with the likes of Dame Cleo Laine & Sir John Dankworth, Wynton Marsalis, Nigel Kennedy, Bireli Lagrene and Caro Emerald. Another member of the Orchestra is one of Russia’s most enigmatic musical exports. The Sultan is played expertly by Adrian Zolotuhin, a master of the strummed strings of domra, balalaika, guitar and saz. Veteran bass-man Kelly Cantlon has been in the business of laying down the low notes for many moons. Kelly found fame in the late 60’s as a Vagabond with northern soul sensations Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.
“The music is magic in their hands” Sean Rafferty BBC Radio 3
“Back by popular demand, the fiery vivacity and awe-inspiring musicianship of the finest purveyors of Eastern European gypsy music this side of a Lada scrap heap will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet…” TIMES
“The Budapest Cafe Orchestra play a blistering barrage of Czardas, East European and Russian folk tunes that might have come from the Hot Club of Paris via the Orient Express!” Brighton Argus
“THEIR VIRTUOSIC SKILL, HILARIOUS SENSE OF HUMOUR AND UNDOUBTED SENSITIVITY KEPT THE PACKED AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND. AMAZING ….UNLIKE ANY OTHER BAND THAT I HAVE EVERY HEARD.” Ely Standard
“Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief.” SCOTSMAN

Ten strangers, each with a past involving an unpunished death, are summoned to the secluded Soldier Island off the coast of Devon by an unknown and absent host.
After an accusatory gramophone recording revealing their pasts, the guests are killed one by one in ways that mirror the “Ten Little Soldier” nursery rhyme. Suspicion and paranoia turn the guests against one another as they try to survive this murderous trap and reveal the killer’s identity before they perish next.
2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the passing of “The Queen of Crime,” Dame Agatha Christie, and we would like to celebrate this with her world’s best-selling mystery novel, “And Then There Were None.”

Event Details
As everybody moves to the beat of Pop music in early-1980s Dublin, sensitive teenager Conor struggles to cope with a tense family relationship, reconnect with his older brother Brendan, and, above all, deal with the hostile environment in his new public school. Then, one day, he sees her.
Tall, with long chestnut hair, a buttery complexion, and big, dark eyes; an enigmatically beautiful girl standing in front of the school’s gate, indolently observing people passing by. To get noticed by the distant girl, Raphina, Conor enlists the help of a group of teenage dreamers to form a band and, surprisingly, with every lyric he writes, the gap narrows; and with every song he plays, her heart brims over with affection. Now, before a sea of opportunities, what does the future hold for a brave love like this?

As World War II rages, a teenage boy in Germany is forced to confront a terrible truth–loyalty to his country now means loyalty to a lie. When his trusted bishop urges obedience to the Nazi regime, he begins to question everything. And after his Jewish friend is taken away, he secretly listens to banned radio broadcasts and launches a resistance, exposing the truth. But in a nation ruled by fear, defiance comes at a cost–and as the regime closes in, he must decide what it truly means to be a good German.
Director: Matt Whitaker
Featuring: Ewan Horrocks, Rupert Evans, Joanna Christie.

Event Details
One woman, armed with American ignorance, French arrogance, and a chest that some say she grew on purpose, bursts onto the stage in sparkles and stilettos: meet Liza Minelli and Debbie Harry’s love child. This pro-singer-turned-musical-comedian is ready to sing at you: to land her cheeky, unbelievable, and sometimes tear-jerking true-life stories into your lap.
Barbara Fernandez, fed up of Americans at university playing down Europe as ‘only a tourist destination’, arrives in Paris age 22 with a degree in theatre and a dream: to live and work there – without a French passport, or any other working papers. 10 years of chaos ensues: cash-in-hand jobs (it’s not what you’re thinking, some are singing jobs), love tussles with partners who are sometimes trench-digging, other times cult-loving and even pillow-wielding, and shaggable therapists – all delivered in powerfully funny parodies with snippets of famous songs recrafted to poke fun at a rocky road to self-discovery.
From sultry pop to classical trills and belting cabaret-style showstoppers, Barbara lustily celebrates female power amidst chaos.
