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.

The Long Hello Volume II was recorded at various sessions

mainly at Guy Evans home throughout 1980 and released in

early 1981. The album was the follow up to the first volume

of The Long Hello which had been released some six years

previously and featured various members of Van Der Graaf

Generator. Volume II featured just Potter and Guy Evans.

Tracks include Dolphins, Elsham Road, Carnival and Zen.

The Long Hello Volume II forms part of a reissue campaign

of the Nic Potter catalogue.
