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
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.
I may look like a common mammal to you, but actually I'm a private investigator looking int the obvious disappearance of Donal and Kate, aka the "Neglected Eclectics". This long term absence of these two rambling singer/stringbenders is surrounded by suspicious happenings, planetary phenomena and the occasional random sighting of Donal on various security cameras as he steals quantities of assorted black teas. If anyone knows the whereabouts of said crooners, please call immediately!

Hi guys, Hope you're well and enjoying the sun. If you have a couple of minutes it'd be great if you could check out our new video for the single 'Heads'. We shot it in a disused office building on a low budget, calling in all kinds of favours from all kinds of friends... We're really proud of what we came up with.
