About this Event
An Evening with Delphine Seddon
Join us for an evening with debut author and former music business executive Delphine Seddon to discuss her fiercely feminist debut novel, Darkening Song.
Delphine Seddon writes female-driven contemporary fiction and poetry. For the past 20 years she’s worked in the music business. She started out as a talent lawyer during the ‘Myspace era’ and dawn of Lily Allen before becoming Head of Business Affairs at Warner Brothers Records, working across an incredible roster which included Dua Lipa, Liam Gallagher, Foals, Royal Blood and Enya. She managed artists for a while and most recently, she was COO at September, operationally responsible for the record label, management company and publishing business across London and LA. September’s clients include Glass Animals, Little Simz and Adele. Originally from Staffordshire, England, Delphine now lives by the sea in rural West Wales.
Daisy Jones and the Six meets Euphoria, 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 explores themes of close female friendships, mental health, how power and fame mutates people, and learning to break free from past traumas. To be adapted into a major TV series!
