These guys were awesome. I saw a "concert" they did at some nasty dive in London when I was on leave from the Army. It was, to be polite, a riotous occasion. I fell in with some British Army guys also on leave from Berlin and we basically drank the bar dry then wrecked the place. Quite interesting too that a least three of the band members helped us clean up the pub after we realized how much stuff we had broken. Then we all got knackered again. I woke up in the alley out back much later.

not their best song - but prob their best known, I used to have this on 45, I cant remember wot was on the b-side but I know I played it more than the A!!
Good stuff, is that a Gibson Thunderbird the bass player is using?! Have to say, I am not a fan of this kind of music, but this lot sound better to me than the Beatles! Sorry!
This brings back so many memories. Remember going to see the Downliners in London at th 100 Club, they were great, I have many photos. Don, you havent changed that much. My friend and I used to go every Sunday to watch them. Great.........
sooo many years ago. Was the 100 off of Charing Cross Road opposite leicester Sq. tube. I remember sitting on the edge of the stage in front of the "young" lead guitarists amp. Long John Baldry and keith richards guesting. John Baldry got a very un PC welcomr regarding his sexuality. Singer had 2 penguins, Victoria and Albert? did I dream all this
@nchfgy11 ...you must remember the Last Chance Saloon then at Tottenham Court Road End..I saw the downliners at a little basement club in Great Newport Street, Can,t remember the name now..
The London Blues scene was great. So may excellent bands. Moody Blues, Yardbirds, Stones, Garry Farr.. too many to remember

Not the best?. I suppose this is too upbeat and popsy for you.
sunshinepoprevival 2 years ago
yehhhh..
just not their best track, the Sect made some killer tunes, this isnt one of them.
still, it's WAYYYY better than a lot of it's contempories, and a phat tune none the less.
