.. .. .. ...... .. .... ...... ...... .. .. .. ....Mancunian songsmith David Potts aka 'Pottsy' is back with his first solo album, a highly energetic offering 'Coming Up For Air' released 29th January 2007.

"I had to put some distance personally and musically between Monaco and myself." Says Potts, "I'm proud of what we achieved but it's been a mixed blessing. Reactions to the music now make me recognise that I'm out of that shadow for good. 'Coming Up For Air' is about just that, being able to breathe again".

"It's made me connect with the music I love and want to make" says Pottsy. "Setting up my own label was an important step, a statement I suppose that I no longer needed a mainstream music business to get out there."

'Coming Up for Air' was recorded, produced, and almost entirely performed by Potts himself, mixed by Tom Knot (The Earlies) at Airtight and mastered by Guy Davie (Royksopp, Badly Drawn Boy) at The Exchange. .... ..

New Single! Order Now Album Out Now What they're saying about it ...

Mancunian songsmith David Potts aka ‘Pottsy’ is back with his first solo album, a highly energetic offering ‘Coming Up For Air’ released 29th January 2007. Those who remember Pottsy from Monaco and RAM are about to have their patience rewarded.

This album has been a journey which has mirrored Pottsy’s own. “I had to put some distance personally and musically between Monaco and myself.” Says Potts, “I’m proud of what we achieved but it’s been a mixed blessing. Reactions to the music now make me recognise that I’m out of that shadow for good. ‘Coming Up For Air’ is about just that, being able to breathe again”. This is the theme of an album which charts a very personal fight to be recognized as an individual talent.

So has he arrived? “It’s made me connect with the music I love and want to make” says Pottsy. “Setting up my own label was an important step, a statement I suppose that I no longer needed a mainstream music business to get out there.” Each track stands proud and shows off Pottsy’s diverse influences from The Who to The Kinks, and The Beatles to The Jam. Essentially ‘Coming Up for Air’ demonstrates Potts’ abilities as a first class songwriter in a time when they are few and far between.

‘Coming Up for Air’ was recorded, produced, and almost entirely performed by Potts himself, mixed by Tom Knot (The Earlies) at Airtight and mastered by Guy Davie (Royksopp, Badly Drawn Boy) at The Exchange.
