Корни группы The Downliners Sect восходят к группе из Twickenham конца 50-х, известной просто как Downliners, в которой ранее играл Don Crane. The Downliners Sect была образована в 1963 году, когда Downliners распались, и Crane набрал новый состав из людей, которых он встречал в различных R&B и блюзовых клубах London.
