Dear Cat Lover,

Torre here. Well, I hope you all had a Meowy Catmas. Now I'm already for a brigth Mew Year. Today, Marc was burning a new master copy of our CD. I never realized how danceable "Lord of the Pounce" is. That sure was fun.

I was digging into one of the bathroom drawers that Tiziano opened and pulled out a Q-Tip. Those are some of the coolest toys. That and every other thing humans don't want us to play with.

Well I had the Q-Tip in my mouth and did a nice improvisational dance with the Q-Tip as pounced to "Lord of the Pounce." I'm sure you can see it now. Michael Catley up on a stage. The sound of a someone using a litterbox while an audience member says, "I smell a tiger. Whew!"

" I happened to find Marc's page quite by accident, and then found his music to be irresistable! He has truly tapped into the heart and mind and soul of a cat! My cat says that listening to this CD is like enjoying her favorite catnip mousie...! Ditto. What higher praise can there be? "

THE RESULTS ARE IN... MORE CAT CDS
Me, Tiziano and Marc had a meeting a couple weeks back. Sales for Irish Drinkings Songs for Cat Lovers are splendid. Plus, all the reviews from cat lovers like you. Everyone LOVES our new CD.

It was this time last year that someone posted our website on Fark.com. 90% of the people who commented on it said this was a stupid idea. But I told Marc to he'd better not stop. We deserve the attention. Not to mention there are people out there who so wisely adore us kitties.

Well, in our meeting we looked at all and decided that we will start planning to record another CD. We're gonna aim for 2007, but it all depends on whether we can get enough parodies written. If you are interested in submitting some lyrics, post them here. Last I heard, Marc was working on "Whiskers in the Jar".

Oh! Marc just told me if you have a cat business or want more than one or two CDs, you can bulk order them on the adoption page.

Adopt the CD now then tell your friends to do the same.

NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION & DELAWARE HOUSE CONCERT
Not only are cat lovers getting behind the CD, but distributors are too. Starting in March 2006, Irish Drinkings for Cat Lovers will have a distributor in the U.S. with Gestalt Records and Canada with Universal. They will pretty much only be selling the CD in music stores. Marc hasn't contacted any cat distributors, but this is a big step. Soon, you will be able to easily buy the CD anywhere.

"The Mining Ship the Red Dwarf" was recently included in a new funny compilation called Funny Musicians for a Serious Cause. The CD benefits Katrina Relief. It's packed with some of the funniest musicians in the nation. Give it a listen.

Last but not least, Marc will be on the East coast in January. In particular, he is playing a House Concert in Delaware. You are invited. You can find all the details through the link.

To talk is human. To purr is divine. Mreow! Happy Mew Year!
-Torre Gunn, manager, lead meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
