    Sam Evans - a short biography

    Sam, who was born in Glasgow, arrived in South Africa in the winter of 1965. He worked as a buildingcontractor in Vanderbijlpark before moving to Johannesburg. He played rhythm guitar for country-and western singer Charles Jacobie, before joining the G-Men as vocalist. The band finally broke up when the club at which they were playing closed down. (Source: Teenage Personality, 10 April 1969)

    Sam persued a solo career after a brief, but very successful stint with the A-Cads.
