Downs Family Orchestras

All siblings of the Downs family took music lessons at Sacred Heart Convent when they were young, and as they grew older became a musical dynasty in London. The three brothers all became bandleaders and were a major part of the London dance scene for the last half of the 20th century. Johnny, Bobby and Don Downs all led their own bands and bookings were made through their central office at the Latin Quarter restaurant. Check out their pages for more details.
