First group I ever booked for Shrewsbury College of FE.. By the time they arrived in December 1966 they were Don Craine’s Downliners Sect. Gig went down brilliantly. Played a lot of Stax Soul and an exceptional organist Matthew Fisher (Procul Harum).
Downliners Sect Chinese Whispers. Just come across this on RUclips. Sound's fantastic & I'll be looking to purchase it. Never been a great fan of the Sect but still play COUNTRY SECT which I've had since it's release. Haven't a clue why I bought it ! LOL but it's an album that's stood the test of time.
Sorry but the Downliners were a great band in the 60's , underated and unlucky....this though is just awful. They sound under rehearsed and the sound quality (nothing to do with the band) does them no favours . I understand nostalgia and the inbuilt desire to perform , but best leave the bands name in its historical past rather than destroy peoples good memories.

RIP Don Craine
Loved you lads from the beginning, 51 club live EP simply brilliant.
Cool stuff. Came here after seeing Don Craine on the antiques roadshow last night, only to find out he passed away a few weeks ago.
Brilliant band of the 60's. Never sold out and one of the best bands on the Island.
The members look like they did in the sixties :D
Why is "Little Egypt" not available to be played in Denmark anymore? :-(
I can ask Don Craine.
dust my broom- one ugly child
