The Beautiful Secret are a two piece band comprised of Rachael Hawnt and Ash Cutler. Their brand new, debut album - just released - is a melodic pop/rock affair with theatrical undertones and powerful vocals.  

Their first single, What’s Inside, deals with the subject of Autism, and is inspired from Rachael’s own niece, Katie-Rae, who lives day-to-day with the condition. All proceeds of the single will go to *The National Autistic Society, with the release itself timed for World Autism Awareness Week - March 27th to April 2nd 2017.

SNS Online caught up with Rachael and Ash to discuss both the new album and the musical journey they have been on to date. Features tracks from the album and beyond, including some performed live in the studio.

SNS Online Series 4 - The Beautiful Secret

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.
