    James Bowen

    James Anthony Bowen (born 15 March 1979) is an English author based in London. His memoirs "A Street Cat Named Bob", "The World According to Bob" and "A Gift from Bob", were international best-sellers. A film based on the first two books was released in 2016 and a sequel was released in 2020.


    In addition to his books, James Bowen has released music regarding his story and relationship with Bob. The charity singles "And Then Came Bob" and "Time To Move On" were released by Macaferri Music in 2018. Both tracks were mixed at Broadway Studio and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London.

    The track And Then Came Bob was composed by the songwriting trio of Roger P. Ferris, Glo Macari and Dominic Ferris, and Time To Move On was composed by Bowen and fellow busker Henry Facey. Ferris also featured in and produced both tracks, and can be seen producing and mixing the track with Bob playing on the audio desk.

    Profits from "And Then Came Bob" were donated to The Big Issue Foundation, supporting homeless people across the UK. Bowen and his team made a bid to get "And Then Came Bob" to a UK Christmas No. 1 in 2018.
