A Deluxe 4cd Set Containing The Complete Sessions From Bruce Soord's Acoustic Live Performances Streamed During The UK Lockdown. Presented in a 48-page hardback book, which features an extended forward and notes on each session by Bruce plus previously unseen photos from the attic studio and images from the live streams along with technical and personal information on the equipment used. Bruce had never streamed a live show before and most of the songs had never been performed solo before (some had never been performed at all). "I played my first show, diving headfirst into the unknown and I soon learned how many people had enjoyed it and that resulted in another 3 sessions over the following weeks, playing songs from the 20 years I had been writing with The Pineapple Thief and more recently my solo work. " Over the last half-decade, The Pineapple Thief, led by Bruce Soord and bolstered by the involvement of master drummer Gavin Harrison, has rapidly ascended to the upper echelons of Europe's Alternative Rock scene. September 2020 saw the release of the band's universally acclaimed 'Versions Of The Truth'. The album was due to be followed, almost immediately, by an extensive tour, which due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation was postponed. Bruce Soord, not wanting to disappoint fans, announced a solo acoustic live streamed performance of songs taken from The Pineapple Thief's extensive catalogue. Due to the success of the initial performance, 1 session turned into 4 across the summer. Bruce Soord explains, "Back in the spring of 2020 I decided to perform a live acoustic show from my attic studio. I figured I could set up something with a bit more production than just a face peering down a mobile phone. I created a little haven of guitars, pedals, loopers, microphones and webcams and mixed them all together ready to send out to the world. " This 4 CD set also features 3 bonus tracks 'A Loneliness', 'Barely Breathing' alongside an additional performance of 'White Mist' taken from a 'best of 'session that streamed in December.
