Don Downs Orchestra

In common with all his siblings, Don Downs took music lessons at an early age on piano at Sacred Heart Convent in London Ontario. He then adapted the saxes as his instruments and eventually became part of the Downs Family Entertainment organization operating from the Latin Quarter restaurant in London. Don and brothers Bobby and Johnny all led orchestras designed for the type of engagement being fulfilled.

Don's specialty was to provide small groups for weddings and private functions.
