Salon On Demand!

In VERY exciting news you can now watch full Salon interviews, including the Q&A, with Salon On Demand! Don’t worry if you missed it live, you can still buy a ticket and access a special private YouTube film of the event. Now you can pause mid-thought to put the kettle on or fix yourself another cocktail. For just £5 you can watch anywhere, anytime, as many times as you like.

In our first Salon on Demand, Damian interviews SJ Watson, author of the global smash Before I Go To Sleep, about his dark new novel Final Cut. They also talk about breaking into publishing, being a working-class writer and how to plot a thriller.

SJ's jumpy new story is all about time and memory - how and what we remember and how and what we try to forget. It follows ambitious young documentary filmmaker Alex who wants to document life in a small village and finds herself mysteriously drawn to Blackwood Bay. Once prosperous it’s now run-down, and behind the faded facades there are more secrets than Alex could ever hope to find… Nothing exciting ever happens in Blackwood Bay – or does it?

It's a joy to have SJ back at the Salon as he continues pushing the boundaries of the genre he’s celebrated for reinvigorating.

Salon On Demand tickets are just £5 and available here. Enjoy!

Salon LIVE Online: SJ Watson with Damian Barr

Thriller time! And another world premiere! Damian Barr interviews SJ Watson, author of Before I Go To Sleep, about his dark new novel Final Cut.

This jumpy new thriller is all about time and memory - how and what we remember and how and what we try to forget. Flitting between Now and Then, the story follows an ambitious young documentary filmmaker who’s struggling to live up to the promise of her first hit. She gets the idea of making a film about life in a small, northern village and finds herself mysteriously drawn to a town called Blackwood Bay. Once gilded and busy it’s now run-down and ghostly and behind the faded facades there are more secrets than our filmmaker could ever have hoped to find… Nothing exciting ever happens in Blackwood Bay – or does it?

We’re delighted that SJ Watson is returning to the Salon for another world premiere, as he continues pushing the boundaries of the genre he’s celebrated for reinvigorating. Here he returns to his favourite themes: memory and identity.

Join SJ Watson and Damian Barr for a thrilling conversation online, Friday 7th August from 8 to 9pm (UK time).

This event will happen via online video platform but only SJ & Damian will be visible and audible and the audience will remain entirely anonymous (so you can wear what you like!).

Tickets are £5 and every ticket bought enters you for the chance to win a copy of Final Cut. Damian will announce the winner at the end of the event.

We look forward to you joining us.
