Learning To Fly (Sept 7) and Piece Of Work (Sept 8) are both storytelling pieces created and performed by one of the UK's most acclaimed storytellers James Rowland.

Piece Of Work is the tale of James returning home after his first stint away, he received a letter that exploded his life, and the tour became a search; for the person who sent it, for a sense of where he comes from, and to maybe save a life.
