On Friday 16th November, the Sunbury Cricket Club welcome one of the legendary names of '60s R&B from the days of the original Eel Pie Club, where they vied with likes of The Rolling Stones, Pretty Things and The Yardbirds in their EMI days, and with an evolving line-up over the years, built around their original founder Don Craine, have stood the test of time as one of the best exponents of classic R&B and blues.
Still led by Don Craine (guitar/vocals), and including longtime stalwart Keith Grant (bass/vocals), they have recently added Savoy Brown Blues Band founder member John O’Leary, one of the godfathers of British blues harmonica, who played with his own band at the Club earlier in the year, on harmonica and vocals, the line-up completed by Del Dwyer (guitar/vocals) and Mark Freeman (drums).
They regularly feature at the current incarnation of Twickenham’s celebrated Eel Pie Club, and they will undoubtedly appeal to our many blues and R&B-loving members. There is full info at www.downlinersect.com, and you can find loads of Downliners Sect video on YouTube. The flier for forthcoming events details may be viewed by clicking here.
Don't forget our '60s night with The Beat Legends on 14th December, which will be something of a knees-up to kick off the party season, I should think.
