Mountain Music & Sketches in Sound

 Nic Potter is probably best known for his work with the

British rock band Van Der Graaf Generator. Initially however

Nic played in a band called The Misunderstood along with

Guy Evans who would also join Van Der Graaf Generator.

Nic joined Van Der Graaf Generator in 1969 and recorded

the album The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other

and recorded part of the next album H To He, Who Am The

Only One before leaving. He was however to return to the

band later in the seventies and played on two more

albums from the band, the studio album The Quiet

Zone/The Pleasure Dome and the live album Vital before

the band split.

In between times and of course beyond his final stint with

Van Der Graaf Generator Nic Potter has had an extensive

solo career recording a number of solo albums and for a

short period in the early to mid eighties was a member of

Peter Hammill's band The K Group.

Gabriel's band and Huw Lloyd Langton formerly of Hawkwind.
