For anyone in the Manchester area, tomorrow (January 29th) at 5:00 PM David Potts is going to be doing a live set and signing at the city centre HMV (the big one, as there are three within a half-mile of each other :-P) to promote the album.

Thanks to Nick for posting the track listing from Amazon although they've made a few typos:
- Roll Up !
- And I ...
- Dream Away
All tracks are previewed in running order on http://www.david-potts.com
As well as the HMV Manchester PA today @ 5pm GMT there's a free launch party @ Kings Arms, Salford on Sat 3rd Feb. Would be great to see NOOL folk there!
They played at least 4 of them at Blue Saturday. That reminds me, Pottsy hasn't come back to me yet about using any of the songs from Blue Saturday for an NOOL release to raise some more money for Cancer Research and the NSPCC yet - DP?

No. It's Pottsy plus the former members of RAM.
Thanks for the info! This site is such a great place to get good info on great music. Consider my order placed. It is nice to know that somewhere in the world good music is still being made.

... There are Hooky bass overdubs on 'Roll Up', but I haven't had a chance to hear it yet.

It's hardly plastered all over the main forum, Steve.
Stands to reason if Pottsy wrote half of the Monaco stuff (which he rightly did) some Monaco fans might be interested in hearing his solo output. No 'big deal' so far as I can see 
Fucking hell, cheer up Steve 
And what's this Monaco b-side with Mrs Merton on it?!

Exactly right in my case! I've just heard the tracks on the official site and will be ordering the album.

Really? I thought the only Mrs Merton stuff that came out was the Mrs Merton album!
We will have a promo with Pottsy for the release.
Unfortunately for him, it was released on a pretty bad week for me, so I'm a bit late for everything.
The press release has been posted in the news room, I am still waiting for my promo copy of the album, should be a good one from the tracks I already hear before (live and not)
Old Monkey... use whatever you want from Blue Sat, fella. Fine by me.
Steve... That isn't Caroline on Bicycle Thief! Forgotten her name now but it was no Mrs M.
Hooky plays bass on Roll Up!
Cheers
Pottsy
Cheers Pottsy!
I was thinking of using "I'm The Greatest", "A Bomb In Wardour St" and "Roll Up" - they're all fantastic sound quality - do you want a copy of the soundboard recording?
kudos to pottsy for one who had the good fortune to learn from the best. from the inside looking out, this is indie brit power pop - all smart, spot on, and smashing. if ever we could all be so lucky. pottsy is proof positive that nuance, timing, and the martial art of subtlety can get you far and keep you close. sound bytes from mt. olympus reign down.
Really good record this. The single should have been a big hit, easily pisses all over anything else of its ilk released in 2006.

its bolly ocks!!
So what though.
you like it. me don't.
I finally got around to opening it when I cleaned up my mailstash. I like it. I can see it getting good play in my car this upcoming week.
I finally got the cd this week (autographed by Pottsy ) and I can truly says it's an enjoyable album, I will put that on repeat with Arcade Fire ;)
