Downliners Sect were a British 1960s group with an R&B style similar to The Yardbirds or Rolling Stones, formed by rhythm guitarist/vocalist Mick O'Donnell with drummer Johnny Sutton when their group the Downliners disbanded after a disastrous French tour.
Contemporaries of the Rolling Stones and Yardbirds, the Downliners Sect was formed by deerstalker-hatted rhythm guitarist Don Craine in the spring of 1963. Their brash and exciting brand of R&B soon gained them a residency at London’s Studio 51 club where they recorded their first E.P.
The Downliners Sect has continued to develope whilst firmly retaining it's roots and reputation for high energy R&B. Until 2022 the band was led by founder Don Craine on guitar & vocals; original frontman Keith Grant on vocals & bass. In 2007, the harmonica player Paul Tiller left the band and was replaced by John O'Leary.
