SESAM

This pop group from Wognum was founded in 1973, its line-up consisting of: Marja Floris (v), Dick Schouten (v, o, p), Koos Blauw (dr), Kees Commandeur (g) and Jan Koppes (b).  In 1980 Marja left for Match and was replaced by Louise Heppery from New Zealand; however, Louise wasn't able to obtain a work permit in the Netherlands and, therefore, had to leave the group in 1981.  She was, in turn, succeeded by a singer called Simone.  Koos left for Spryng in 1981 and was replaced by Jos Bakker (dr).
