Yorkshire Duo Carter & Jones - anybody remember?

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.

I seem to recall a thread on this a while back.

First names would be a big help.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
