Downliners Sect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 Arthur Keith Evans, 26.3.1946, in Farnworth, Lancashire) - bass, vocals
- Johnny Sutton - drums
- Terry Gibson (born Terence Frederick Clemsom, 7.2.1947, in Croydon, Surrey) - guitar (replaced the short-lived original guitarist Melvin)
- Ray Sone - harmonica (joined in 1964, beating Rod Stewart and Steve Marriott)
- Pip Harvey - harmonica (replaced Sone in 1965, left in 1966 because he was wanted by the police!)
- Zach Wilson - guitar (replaced by Craine)
Stylistically, they were similar to The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones, playing basic R & B on their first album "The Sect". They subsequently modified their musical style, and after an EP of 'sick' songs (eg 'I want my Baby Back') they experimented with both country ("The Country Sect") and rock ("Rock Sect's In").
