T'Pau - The Whole Story...

T’Pau’s Carol Decker joins SNS Online in part one (of two) of an extended interview, available here as a free download.

Having recently returned to the pop world with a brand new, critically acclaimed album, Pleasure & Pain, complete with UK tour, part one covers T’Pau’s early rise to fame, their quadruple platinum debut album, Bridge of Spies - and beyond - plus the lifestyle that they all enjoyed during that creative musical explosion that was the 1980s.

But why did it all stop when it did, and how different has motherhood affected Carol in recent years, as T’Pau once more steps into the limelight..?

In a very honest (and funny!) interview, Carol and Nick put the world to rights in a secret location in Henley-on-Thames (a pub), and not only cover T’Pau’s initial glory days, but discuss the wonderful pop culture of the 1980’s onwards (wearing black arm-bands for the demise of Top of the Pops...).

Illustrated with T’Pau’s hits and archive material.

A show to be enjoyed if you're a T'Pau/Carol Decker fan, or if you just want to immerse yourselves in that heady era of 80's nostalgia...

SNS Online Series 5 -  "Rise Up, Women!"  Biddy Baxter MBE

ARTS.   LIFESTYLE.   SNS ONLINE.

- SNS Online started its life as a weekly hour long LGBTQ+ magazine/music show ('ScratchNSniff', hence 'SNS'!) on national Irish dance music station, RTÉ Pulse - running on and off for four years. Since then the show has evolved as an online showcase for actors, musicians, journalists, authors, script writers, stand-up comedians and more - all in the form of in-depth one-to-one interviews - all fully illustrated with archive audio & music. These are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and non-profit making/also unhindered by advertising. Nick himself describes SNS Online as an 'audio love letter' to all who take part. But don't take his word for it - dive in!

- SNS Online's Nick Randell has worked in radio/TV sound for 30 years at the BBC. He has also presented for the BBC World Service - 'Pop Phrases' (a 20 part BBC English series), the UK top ten for the Azeri stream (in English, not Azeri!), radio packages for numerous BBC regions/World Service, and finally, Irish national, RTÉ (four series of weekly hour shows - music/features/guests Weds 7-8pm). 

- TV appearances Blue Peter, Newsround, The One Show (BBC One), Gaytime TV (BBC Two), The Working Life (ITV). 

- Was once described as 'some BBC suit' by The Guardian's Media Monkey, after Nick wrote a letter to Ariel which got misinterpreted. 

- Many other 'ScratchNSniff' shows from its initial RTÉ run are available to be heard via Mixcloud by searching there for SNS Online.
