Ned Dunn is a poet borne of the road, with the stories of men and solitary existence he has performed in the likes of Workman’s main room Electric Picnic and Beyond the Pale. However, the place for giving a few poems would be none other then the barstool, itself. Ned has gone on to run his own Open Mic known as Juno Beats for a time and even collaborated with artists as far as America. He was also published in the Pay Attention Collective (2023) and Lily of the Valley (2025) magazines. His words to live by, May there never be a stone in your shoe, and at least never a hole in your socks.
