Mainly 'Beatniks' in this clip from Primitive London, 1965.
The 2 musicians in this clip are Ray Sone, harp (later of The Downliner's Sect) and Emmett Hennessy, vocals, guitar.
Many thanks to Emmett Hennessy (http://www.youtube.com/user/emmettify ) for this info.

the date of filming was 1964, it's a clip from a full length feature called "Primitive London" recently re mastered and released on dvd so it's available.

@staypress well, I seem to recall, the hair took a lot of work, (backcombing, lacquer etc.) hadn't been playing more than 2 years by then but took to it quite quickly. I'm a lot better now generally but I 'm sure my flatpicking would not be as good as I don't use that style anymore. Yes, I was a bit out of place, just a "weekend beatnik"!

hi do you know know what date this was filmed and also what documentary it came from.
by the way nice guitar playing Emmet and great mod hair. I think u looked a bit out of place in there
-
Great clip... but I'd like to see the Rockers cut also! Do you have it around?
-
yes Moggy, I believe they are still playing, and their ex guitarist, Terry Clemson, also has a facebook Downliners site with lots of pics. Glad you like the clip, the pub is "the Duke of York" in Soho, London.

to answer your question, we were definitely beatiniks but tried to be more stylish as we were trying to make it a musicians. Ray went on to join a popular '60's band, Downliners sect . The pub was Rod Stewarts weekly hgangout, he was king of the stylish beatniks, we called him "Rod the Mod". (may have been there that night!) Wonder where all those guys are now? the girl who said "wer'e just friends" was my old girlfriend for .a while...Anne Woolridge. Big Annie, where are you? get in touch!

@emmettify Thank you so much for your comments, good sir!
My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I have been a bit slack on here for a while.
Needless to say, your input has been most valuable on this amazing piece of footage that blew me away when I first saw it, and felt obliged to share.
I remember seeing The Downliner's Sect at a local pub oooh 1990 or thereabouts?
They didn't disappoint.
I take it they're still going now in some form if they have a website... (?)
