about

Taking 5 years to record and over 20 to write, this is a collection of the best(!) stuff I've put together over the years. There's no definitive style or cohesive vision, the oldest song was written in 1995 while the most recent was in 2011. Since starting recording I've had 2 children, moved house 3 times and eaten a *lot* of Whopper meals.

Tracks are free to download, if you'd like to show your appreciation then please donate to the National Autistic Society via my JustGiving page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/therowan

Thanks so much to everyone who helped out and lent me their considerable talents for free! You guys all rock.

Alistair Beith for his supercool twiddly guitar bits

Annie May Hashagen for her sultry vocals and enthusiasm

Peter Liddle for putting up with my awful patter, as well as recording and banjotimes

Richard Merchant for parping away on his lovely trumpet

Ross McCrae for recording, mixing, trombone and general awesomeness

Dave McLintock for his meganineties vocals and face (and the hole!)

Katie Pope for her encouragement, wise words and stupendous artwork

Sophie Sexon for foxiness, flute, vocals and innuendo

Mark Smith for finally agreeing to play on it and then being really good
