In defiance of this stance, Dùnadh is a joyful night of poetry readings and performances, celebrating Scotland's living tradition of oral storytelling and supporting the University workers currently forced to strike. The evening will be comprised of performances of established favourites, literary classics, and original poetry, with open mic slots also available on the night." - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/dùnadh-open-mic-poetry-and-performance-night-in-support-of-ucue-strikes/100002002458923545 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Typewronger Books - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Typewronger Books - **lat**: 55.9397618 - **long**: -3.2046623 - **full address**: Typewronger Books, 22 Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Dùnadh Open Mic, Poetry & Performance Night in support of UCUE Strikes - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/6d6093c1a3e2ccee9c85d695bc36c40bf480718a84b541de28acd21cabfa785e-rimg-w1200-h675-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1790877246 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Dunadh Open Mic, Poetry & Performance Night in support of UCUE Strikes being held? - **A:** Dunadh Open Mic, Poetry & Performance Night in support of UCUE Strikes takes place on Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Typewronger Books, 22 Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Dunadh Open Mic, Poetry & Performance Night in support of UCUE Strikes? - **A:** Dunadh Open Mic, Poetry & Performance Night in support of UCUE Strikes is organized by Typewronger Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
