John Nee

[1] He lived in London during the late seventies where he continued to perform, taking inspiration from the growing punk movement.

[1] Nee returned to Ireland in 1982, and since then has employed a variety of media, including street performance, theatre, radio, poetry, music, live-streaming and installation art, to pioneer his own unique style of storytelling.

He is the author of a book of haikus "The Apocalypse Came on a Friday", as well as numerous one-man shows, including "The Derry Boat" (1998), "Limavady My Heart’s Delight" (2006), "Dead Rooster Blues" (2008) and "Radio Rosario" (2017).

Nee, Devlin and their band (which featured Shaun Deehan and Martin McDaid) then decided to call themselves Ambrose.

[3] Nee was also a member of the band Hemlock along with fellow St Eunan's students, the Macklin brothers (Colm and Padraig), Brian O'Shea and George Cullen.

[citation needed] He also spent some time as a labourer on the building sites in London where he began performing at Dalston Junction Alternative Cabaret at The Crown&Castle.

[citation needed] Nee later moved to Dublin and began performing Charlie Chaplin on Grafton Street.

[7] Galway Arts Festival performances include The Ballad of Jah Kettle (2000), Donde Esta Jesus Fahy (2001) and Country and Irish (2002).

[7] Axis Theatre Ballymun commissioned The Mental in 2005; this featured a character called Joe Boyle who ended up in St Conal's Hospital and referenced Seosamh Mac Grianna who spent three decades there.

[11][better source needed] In the mid-2000s, Nee played the silent comedy character of Postie in TG4 television series Fear an Phoist.
