These recordings that celebrate those 20 years are aptly called The Independent Years. They are a collection of rare and unreleased recordings from live concerts and TV shows and demonstrate what it takes to be a successful musician and songwriter. Real talent is much rarer than people imagine. And in Paul Carrack that talent is here to be heard in all its raw emotion. Each Paul Carrack show is different, he sings how he feels, with the ability to channel those emotions to his many fans.

The deepest part of the ocean, filled with mystery and mystifying creatures hidden from sight and hidden from light. More people have travelled to space then have explored this area of the world. This album embodies both our fascination and our love for the deep sea. With this set of recordings, we have taken it upon ourselves to explore sounds and create music to take the listener on an expedition to the depths of our minds and souls. This album is a journey towards the alien depths of The Hadal Zone.

The one who has a voice that balances between Ray Charles and Van Morrison and who continues to release records at a steady pace (Holly IN 2014, Never Twice in 2016, Nick Waterhouse in 2019 and now Live At Pappy & Harriet's) continues to 'extend his vision beyond his own career by collaborating with friends like Ty Segall or between Leon Bridges. He also produced some albums of his friends. Live at Pappy & Harriet’s arrived immediately after a long and intense European tour but also a moment when Nick Waterhouse questioned everything. This album reflects the work of an artist who has seen certain things. He's studied, he's composed, he's receptive, he's free, and he's got to know his own artistic practice in a way that looks fiery and raw on this live record recorded in his hometown.
