Beauty & Terror – The Album

Recorded over 12 months, this 13-track album is Ollie’s story: the story of his life, his death, his family, his passion for music and his determination to leave his mark.

It’s his tribute to the music he loved and to those who influenced him. Written by brothers Ollie and Stephen Hughes, and Niall O’Carroll, Beauty & Terror sounds like Ollie’s go-to playlist, drawing from indie, rock, pop and folk, all with a distinctly Irish sound.

Featuring guest artists including May Kay (Fight Like Apes), Gerry McGarry (Riptide Movement), Richie Buckley (legendary saxophonist) and Chris Barry (The Memories), each track is a closeup of a moment, enhanced through their interpretations. 

Beauty & Terror is a map that charts a journey of hope, fear, joy and love at its most deep.

The album is available on all your favourite streaming platforms. Don’t forget to give it a like and a follow.
