Bio
The Neglected Eclectics refuse to die! .. .. Kate Lawrence and Donal Fean curmudgeonly grumble'n'hum through the streets of Dublin scavenging for gigs in Discoland. We are cheaper than tinsel townies and brighter than hope. Just give us a couch and we will turn it into a stage. My Space or Your Space - we don't mind. Go on. .. .. ...... .. .. Us playing 'Waiting' on BalconyTV.com .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. -

Sounds Like
afternoons on the verandah, unspoken regrets, the wailing wind, your aunt and uncle dancing in the kitchen, the shadow of the gallows pole, the ribbons on the picket fence, the sneer of the crow, unexpected smiles and us in howls of laughter

10 of 214Morehey there folks, was just thinkin' bout y'all. we played a show a couple weeks back and were tellin' stories 'bout that stew at opossums. hope y'all are doin well.
"Repeat Until Enlightenment" is an excellent CD. It spends a lot of time on my CD player. I wish I could have been with you in Ohio. Donal: I'm drinking a cup of Irish breakfast tea as I write this. I'm seldom without it. I miss y'all.
Love & Affection,
ron
Ya for sure - meet -jam - gig - anytime/anyplace. I know I speak for Rick when I say you're welcome to come to Canada and stay with either of us. We'd be so into opening for you two and finding us some gigs. We know a few folks and places that should really take to your sounds and songs.
I'm sure we could get some of the O folk revue gang to join us. I can so see our final song - Yes Malaria - M-A-L-A-R-I-A -wow them kats is crazy. Just tell us when you're ready to take the next trip and we'll work on the gigs - etc.
So special connecting with you both.
Looking forward to the next adventure.
Mario - D-vibe 2 ( because Rick has to be D-vibe 1 - you know how he gets if he's not first on the bill)
them animals have developed selective listenin' we're sure of it. hope y'all are doin well!
Ohio was great, and I passed on your disc to a couple friends at The Roots on the River festival in Bellows Falls Vermont this weekend past. Lots of jamming but almost no sleep this time.
I will try to have an original CD for you the next time we meet.
Hey Kate and Donal,
How nice the time spent - the songs exchanged - a gathering rich with creatives and open minds - Rick and I had several new CD's to listen to on our way back to Canada - we let them loop many times - your CD got many loops - you're magic - just amazingly - a perfect blend - very inspiring. I will be sharing your songs with others and hope you two can come to Canada soon. We have a place you can stay and all you have to do is ask. As you know I married my high school sweet heart Kelly O'Connor so you'll be right at home.
Looking forward to sharing mp3's with you and the next gig. Have a great time on the rest of your U.S. tour. Way to make it happen -
Mario - Distorted Vibe
