WHAT’S UP NEXT?

Barnard lives in Barnes (where his Garibaldi novels are set) and when not writing cheers himself by watching QPR and listening to Leonard Cohen. According to his website he has few claims to fame, but counts playing football with Nick Hornby, giving Clare Balding interview practice, teaching members of Mumford and Sons and Noah and The Whale, having lunch with George Best and nearly being recruited as a spy as some of his most significant achievements. He has written a number of novels including ‘No Regrets’ (2013), ’10 Things To Do Before You Leave School’ (2019) and two crime novels in the DI Garibaldi series,  ‘The Final Round’, and ‘Private Lessons’. The third book in the series, ‘Every Trick in the Book’, was published in February 2024.

Originally from the United States, Jason Sandy is an architect and developer who moved to London in 2007. He discovered mudlarking in 2012 and has contributed to many articles and books on mudlarking, as well as lecturing, appearing on national television, and having an active presence on social media. Jason’s most thrilling find is a Roman hair pin, made of ornately carved bone, and dating back to 50-100 AD, just seven years after the foundation of the Roman settlement in London. It is now on permanent display in the Museum of London. However he has also done some mudlarking on the foreshore right outside the Bulls Head and will tell us all about his finds.
