About Me

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.
