Render over fire place

[Little owl]

Looking to render above fire place.
It had some nasty 70s brick tiles stuck on .
Would people suggest sand and cement render to cover this area . Maybe even mesh or sbr slurry first .
Bricks ain’t to bad, was expecting a horror show behind
Cheers people

No need for S&C, it’ll take more time for curing before plastering.
Float and set job done.
