They were originally called the 'Downliners' and included Barry Allmark, vocals; Don Craine, guitar; Pete Maggs, drums; and Kevin Beaulieu, bass- and later incorporated harmonica player Ray Stone. They had an outrageously entertaining stage act into which they incorporated a lot of humour which can even be traced in the names of some singles. Despite having no great record success, the group has continued on in various guises under the stewardship of Don Craine. | ||
