The Downliners Sect was a British rhythm and blues band of the beat boom era, formed in 1963 when the existing Downliners band split up. The line-up consisted of:

  • Don Craine (born Michael John O'Donnell, 29.3.1945, at Chiswick Maternity Hospital, Hounslow, Middlesex) - guitar, vocals, tambourine, maracas, autoharp
  • Keith Grant (born Keith Grant Evans, 26.3.1946, in Farnworth, Lancashire) - bass, vocals
  • Johnny Sutton - drums
  • Terry Gibson (born Terence Frederick Gibson, 7.2.1947, in Croydon, Surrey) - guitar (replaced the short-lived original guitarist Melvin)
  • Ray Sone - mouth organ (joined in 1964, beating Rod Stewart and Steve Marriott)
  • Pip Harvey - mouth organ (replaced Sone in 1965, left in 1966 because he was wanted by the police!)

Stylistically, they were similar to the Yardbirds, the Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones, playing basic R & B.
