Career

Evans started playing guitar at the age of eleven. His first recording was with Tubby Hayes and Tony Coe on Jazz Tête à Tête in 1966. After years of touring, Evans focused on his career as a solo jazz guitarist and operated from his home town of Bristol. In the late 1970s, he started Blue Bag Records, releasing his albums Noctuary, Soiree, and ...For Little Girls.[1][2] In February 1978, he was featured on the cover of Guitar: The Magazine for All Guitarists.[3]

He performed on television and radio, including the BBC One show Parkinson and an ITV show called Frank Evans and Friends. As a composer and arranger, he worked on soundtracks for television drama and documentary programs.[4]

gollark: Plethora Peripherals/CC can do very generalized item transfer, but probably quite laggily.
gollark: Mods have done basically everything vanilla ever has.
gollark: Older versions did *not* do this that much.
gollark: The server I've got up has 3.5GB of RAM allocated to it (the actual dedicated box it on has 4... planning to upgrade eventually), and constantly just spends 30% of CPU whenever anyone's on, probably garbage collecting.
