Absolutely, saw them a few times in Manchester around 1979 & my hometown of Altrincham at a pub called the Malt Shovels that often had live music. Was a huge fan.
I've thought of them over the years but never found any info till now. Would love to hear some of their music again.
cheers

Martin made two albums on the Tradition Label - Someone New and Ups and Downs - in the early seventies, which are now in a back catalogue bought by Celtic Music.
Alan Rose of Keithley Folk Club might know his present circumstances.

Passed on to me by a friend:

"    Martin Carter and Graham Jones
Martin Carter had a very distinctive style and Graham Jones played an impressive fretless bass. Remember the song, "Market Day in Monpazier"? (I think I got the title right). Did they ever make any albums? If so, I'd love to get my hands on one.
The only other info I have on them is that Graham Jones has worked with Allan Taylor on one of his albums.
Grateful thanks to the folks who have sent me some recordings of MC & GJ. Between us we are still hoping for some news of them in recent years.

Correct Guest we had them at STF&B twice while I was involved there. First in 1974 at The Ship & Royal and the following year at The Douglass Vaults. I saw them later in Newcastle at The Guildhall around 1976 but that would be the last that I saw or heard of them.

Martin Carter and was his name spelled GRAEME Jones? I saw them a few times back in the 70's, very good they were, 1976 I believe, around the time I was performing with Maartin Allcock

First names would be a big help.

Does anyone remember Carter & Jones? A male duo both singing one playing guitar & the other playing fretless bass: possibly based in Yorkshire. I was just wondering if they are still playing because theywere pretty good.
