“There's a huge buzz in Manchester around Puppet Rebellion. To see a crowd singing along to a band that can count its gigs on both hands is a sign of greater and bigger things to come." - Louder Than War

“There’s a feeling when you listen to the EP that it isn’t designed to slowly grow on you, it’s almost as if it doesn’t want to wait for that, it’s not going to politely sit and wait for you to mull it over and decide if it’s interesting or not – it’s going to grab you by the unmentionables and take you on a quality ride.” – Given To Sound

"Puppet Rebellion are destined to be big. Huge. Gargantuan. Gi-frigging-normous. Susan Boyle's-monobrow massive" - Bleach & Cologne

"Awesome anthems of our time with videos to match - insanely satisfying" - SNS Online

To coincide with the release of their brand new (and frankly, spellbinding) track, ‘Fragments’, SNS Online caught up with the critically acclaimed *Puppet Rebellion at a gig in London recently to talk about all their success to date, inspirations for their music & lyrics, and what the future holds - both in the studio and on the road.

Fully illustrated with tracks from their EPs to date.

We also speak to *Mat O’Brien and Stuart Minshaw about the work they’ve done in translating Puppet Rebellion tracks into outstanding music videos.

“Afghan women are no longer silent. They are a force for progress. From now on, if we have sons, we will teach them to stand up for girls, and if we have daughters, we will make sure they know their value and remember the struggles of the women before them. Our struggle continues but our hope will not fade.”

*SNS Online spends an hour in conversation with BBC Afghan journalist and author, Zarghuna Kargar, to talk about the day-to-day struggles faced by women in Afghanistan, the traditions and rituals of Afghan people, and life beyond the Taliban.

History is always written by the victor. After Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the battle of Bosworth, Tudor historians created the elaborate fiction of a deformed usurper who schemed and murdered his way onto the English throne. But who was the real Richard III?

Playwright, Ian Dixon Potter, attempts to set the record straight by presenting a more balanced historical view of Richard III, a view that doesn't conform to the grotesque character created by William Shakespeare in the sixteenth century.

Drawing on contemporary sources, unsullied by Tudor propaganda, ‘Good King Richard’ dramatises for the very first time, the true events which propelled Richard onto the throne of England and two years later, led to his downfall.

This is a tale of murder, betrayal, rebellion, revenge and political intrigue, starting with the drowning of the Duke of Clarence in a butt of Malmsey and ending on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth.

'Good King Richard' begins a two week run at The White Bear Theatre (nearest tube Kennington)from December 8th - 20th 2015, All details and how to purchase tickets can be found here http://www.goldenagetheatre.com/#!current-production/cb3i, or call Box Office: 0333 666 3366 (£1.50 booking per call). Tickets: £14 (£10 Conc.).

Over four centuries late, Good King Richard finally sets the record straight in both a refreshing and fascinating account of what really happened. Go see!

World AIDS Day 2015, and more people than ever are living with *HIV in the UK alone - with over 36.9 million worldwide. And although combination drug therapies mean that (for many people) HIV is no longer a death sentence, how are these people coping day-to-day with the condition? Most importantly, can they be both HIV and happy?

Nick Randell speaks to Paul Thorn, former GT columnist, presenter of 'The HIV Happy Hour' on Radio Reverb 97.2fm and author of ‘HIV Happy’, to find out more.

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...

Part two available here https://soundcloud.com/scratchnsniff-rte-pulse/sns-online-series-2-carol-decker-pt-2
