Subject: RE: Help: Martin Carter and Graham Jones
Hi, I knew Martin & Graham back in the mid to late seventies, I lived in Amsterdam and we had the same agent Anikke Zwetsloot, was there when they got all their gear nicked outside the Adam & Eve
youth hotel the second night after arriving.

The last I heard of Martin he'd definitely moved to Glasgow, I did a gig in King Tuts Wha Wha around 1995 with Steve Gibbons and left one of our CDs on their Juke Box, couple of months later we were playing at the Grove in Leeds and a guy came up to me and said Martin had heard the CD in King Tut's and said hello, like you all I've tried many searches but got nowhere, one possibility mentioned to me was that he may have changed his name to "Spider" or "Spyder" have tried Googling that to no avail.

Had many pretty wild nights with them in Amsterdam one being jamming in a club called the Kikaboo near the Vondel Park untill 10.00 in the morning then having to pay to get out of the place along with Cosmo aka Perry Tillman, if anyone has any more info I'd be very grateful, must admit to being a bit fearful for him.

Cheers Jon
