Rowland's
Stuff
Rowland Myers is a British composer and songwriter, who has been writing and recording since his distant teenage years, producing a first-attempt EP with school mates and, later, a pretty dreadful solo album and a well-intentioned charity fundraising single while at university.
Since then, while working in different aspects of broadcasting, audio production, engineering and design, he wrote and recorded mainly instrumentals for radio, theatre, stage shows and the like. More recently, he has broadened his writing, also penning songs again and having a stab at just about any musical style or genre.
Rowland records all his works himself to give them a first airing, but hopes those with greater performance skills than his will take them on.
A few, more recent, tracks are on this page; the rest of Rowland's Stuff will follow over time. Each song or instrumental can be played here; or you can choose to hop across to Rowland's YouTube music channel, where you'll find something to look at while listening.
Thanks for stopping by.

some notes to listen to
Who Knew?!
July 2023
Served up on a crisp jazz-funk base and garnished with a healthy
dollop of cynicism, an attempt to put into music how little we've
learned from history as, on April 1st 2023, Russia took its place as President of the UN Security Council.

Absent Family and Friends
November 2022
A contemplative guitar and cello instrumental, written following
the passing of a much-loved family member, marking the end
of an era as we said farewell to the last of a generation that gave us so much. This is for them all.

Don't You Mind
November 2023
Trying to put a bit of an optimistic spin on what appears to be an
increasingly down-beat assessment of life today. Agreed, things
may be far from perfect, but it's often not as bad as the Media would have us believe. So, chin up!

The Best Is Yet To Come
March 2024
Blending the idea of travelling to a really great place
(in this case, a through-the-night drive to England's glorious
West Country) with keeping the flame of optimism burning throughout life. So, travel hopefully!

Murder Without Menaces
May 2024
Originally written as a series of variations on a theme to bookend
and scene-link one of Derek Webb's spoof murder mystery
Agatha Crusty plays, these have since been added to and weaved into this affectionate nod to "cosy crime".

To The End
July 2024
For the few who walk, march or run towards adversity and
danger when most stand still or turn the other way. For those
who go above and beyond to see the challenge through - whatever it takes.
