Join us for an evening with debut author and former music business executive Delphine Seddon to discuss her fiercely feminist debut novel, Darkening Song.

DAISY JONES & THE SIX meets EUPHORIA and fiercely feminist, DARKENING SONG follows the story of two young women; a teen star from Manchester failed by the music industry which made her an idol and her ambitious manager, forced to make an impossible choice between friendship and power. It’s a story of friendship and betrayal, a love story and a story about how past traumas can colour the present. But more than anything, it’s about hope, and how dreams can come true in ways we least expect.

*To be adapted into a major TV series*
*Original score soundtrack, written and produced by an all-female team*
