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 Blue Zone Party was originally released as a limited edition cassette tape. The tape was limited to just three hundred copies each signed by Nic Potter. The cassette tape has now become a collector's item and this CD now sees the album receiving a fuller and more widespread release. The recording features Nic Potter on bass and keyboards alongside guitarist Huw Lloyd Langton and former Vander Graaf Generator musicians Guy Evans and David Jackson. The band is rounded out by Stuart Gordon on violin. The concert was recorded in London at The Dome on the 29th of May 1991.

Tracks include; Northern Lights, A Whiter Shade Of Blue, Blue Zone, Dimension Z and Dome Jam in D.
The Blue Zone Party has been re mastered for this release and is the latest release in a series of Nic Potter reissues which began in late 2009 with the All Contained Box Set.
