Eel Pie Club : -LAUNCH OF THE DOWNLINERS SECT CD, 'CHINESE WHISPERS' - OLD EVENT
This will be a momentous occasion when R&B legends, The Downliners Sect, launch their long-awaited album, 'Chinese Whispers', with all songs written by original Sect members, Don Craine and Keith Grant. It is a rare treat to see the full Sect in the UK and they will be joined by a number of special guests, including Roger Cotton (ex Peter Green's Splinter Group). Very much part of the London Rhythm n Blues scene in the 1960s, The Downliners Sect played at Eel Pie Island and took over The Rolling Stones' residency at Ken Colyer's Club in London's West End. They still attract crowds of thousands in Japan and Sweden, where their song, 'Little Egypt', reached No. 1 in the Hit Parade. The Downliners today are Don Craine - vocals/guitar, Keith Grant - vocals/bass, Del Dwyer - vocals/guitar, John O'Leary - vocals/harp, Al Brooks - drums.
