about

** Full download is 7 Chapters (plus preamble) - total running time approx. 60min **

Eight years ago, our best friend Tom was diagnosed with heart cancer. His last wish was to have a viking burial. This is the story of how Sarah and I tried to make that wish come true.

Recorded by a river in East London and accompanied by my own music, this is a special audio version of Team Viking. It was made during lockdown in 2020 at a time when the only places we could go were outdoors.

Here are some of the things people said about the live show, back when I could perform it in theatres:

★★★★★ 'Joyous... flooded with love' The Stage
★★★★ 'A virtuoso display of postmodern storytelling' The List
★★★★ 'Thrillingly special... one mighty, passionate epic' The Scotsman

SONGS OF FRIENDSHIP
- Get 20% off all three.

Team Viking is the first of my three-part storytelling cycle SONGS OF FRIENDSHIP. The shows have toured all over the world, I've performed them close to 500 times, and whenever I can, I perform the trilogy in a single night.

The stories are funny, and sad, and they cover all the big questions: life, love, death, faith, and why we tell stories in the first place. Mostly though, they're about friendship - so I hope sharing them during this solitary time will mean something to anyone who listens.

You can buy the whole trilogy for £12 (20% off) - just select 'Full Digital Discography'. I hope you'll love them individually, but I think they're best experienced together.

James Rowland London, UK

Hi, I'm James. If you've come to this page, it's probably on purpose. I make stories and other things, which I might put here, including my new audio trilogy SONGS OF FRIENDSHIP.

(If audio isn't your thing, my shows have also been published by Oberon Books, with special annotations and additional material: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/songs-of-friendship-a-storytelling-cycle-9781786825339/) ... more
