Leslie Alexander Nemes (born 5 December 1960 in Croydon, England) is an English bassist. After he and guitarist/vocalist Nick Heyward had been in other bands together, the pair formed Haircut One Hundred in 1980.^[1] The band enjoyed considerable success in the early 1980s including a top-5 album and four top-10 singles in the UK.

Heyward left Haircut One Hundred in early 1983 but Nemes remained with the band for its second album, released in 1984. The album was a commercial failure and the band broke up.

Nemes went on to tour and record as a session musician for Hugh Masekela, Chris Rea, Friends Again, China Crisis and Rick Astley.

Nemes moved to Spain in 2003.

Since 2004, after appearing on the VH1 show Bands Reunited, Haircut One Hundred (including Nemes and Heyward) have re-formed on several occasions.
