Lost & Found ! THE POOL SHARKS' CD

admin@nicpotter.eu — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 22:00:00 GMT

About 22 years ago (after the Tigers), Nic Potter did some recording with the same line-up as the Tigers (but with a different Drummer), it was to be called 'The Pool Sharks'. It was never released and the tapes somehow got lost.
Tony Jackson (member of the Tigers) recently found the tapes. They had to be baked in an oven for 70 hours and, fortunately, it did work and the 'lost' album sounds great, very optimistic and fresh (like Spring!) with some great songs and playing.
'The Pool Sharks' cd is quite different to the 'Tigers'. Nic plays on all the tracks, and will be available some copies for sale.

Something about the "new" THE BLUE ZONE PARTY - LIVE AT THE DOME 1991...

admin@nicpotter.eu — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:00:00 GMT

'The Blue Zone Party Live' was really a one-off musical party event. Having done very little rehearsing we just went for it (despite the complex nature of some of the music).
There was a special atmosphere at The Dome that night and everyne had a great time.
Over the years many people have written in asking if, and when, a CD of 'The Blue Zone Party Live' might be released. Well, finally here it is !
The music took on a life of its own with many special and unplanned moments (sometimes totally anarchic, sometimes powerful, sometimes beautiful, and lots of unherearsed jamming). Hope you like it.

NEWS FROM NIC POTTER: The release of the 'Zom-Art series' of the entire back catalogue

* NEWS from NIC *

Greetings! I am pleased to announce the release of the 'Zom-Art series' of my entire back catalogue (Zomart, distributed and marketed by Voiceprint.)
All ten cd's have been re-mastered with greatly improved artwork (all the cd's feature parts of my paintings).
There are also new bonus tracks on 5 of the cd's, and one new cd 'The Blue Zone Party Live At The Dome (London 29/05/1991 featuring Guy Evans, David Jackson, Huw LLoyd Langton and myself.)
I have been closely involved with this series (including re-mastering, artwork etc.) for quite some time - its been a very big project!
There are several unique features of the series, for example when the spines of all ten cd's are placed in the right order they form a painting of mine.
Supplies are fairly limited at the moment, so early ordering is strongly recommended!
The *BOX SET* (title : All Contained) will be released end of October (Limited Edition of 100), I will have a few copies available. It includes a DVD interview with myself and some random photos of some of my paintings.
Meanwhile my new cd (In a secret garden) is nearly finished...
