Graham / Sheila Nelmes

Does anyone know what happened to a Cheshire based duo called Graham and Sheila Nelmes? I have a copy of their album from the early 80s which I thoroughly enjoy. I cant seem to find any other recordings by them, nor do I know if they continued playing live.
Any clues?

It doesnt do a lot of good to Quartets or Trios either - reference Beggars Velvet and Folly Bridge !

God Who would have thought.....Posted the question 18 months ago!

Nice to hear back from you though Graham.
Did you record anything else as a duo (aside from the LP on Tradition)?

Cheers

I remember seeing Graham and Sheila Nelmes in Manchester when I was a student back in 1981, and hearing them once on the local BBC radio station. I shamefacedly admit to having a very bad quality live recording of "Lady Franklin's Lament" with a loud beer pump going in the background that I still listen to now.

Is this record still available (though it may not sound the same without the beer pump)? I could only find one place selling it used at $40 (how's that for an accolade)!

We certainly played the university and were frequesntly on local radio.

$40 I could make a fortune! I still have copies available if anyone is interested - graham@gnelmes.co.uk
