FALLING MIRROR LIVE AT BARNYARD THEATRE

SA’s legendary band Falling Mirror Live at Barnyard Theatre “Johnny’s Back!”

Try to imagine what a cross between Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison and Rodriguez would sound like, throw in Mark Knopfler and The Stones and you are close the sound of SA’s hit band from the 80’s “Falling Mirror”.

Remember the hit songs “Johnny Calls the Chemist” and “Neutron Bop” that made number one spots and received recognition in America? Well, “Johnny’s Back!” albeit for one night only in The Barnyard Theatre, Willowbridge on Sunday the 28^th of April to rev up the Rock and as part of a major international documentary that will capture the band’s reconnection with their audience and tell their unique rock story.

Founding band members and cousins, Allan Faull (lead guitar) and vocalist Nielen Mirror (the band name is a play on their surnames) together with drummer Patrick Humphries were known as a non-performing, inordinately introspective group whose debut album “Zen Boulders” equalled the world’s best upon release and gained a cult following in SA. Now joined by George Den Das (Keyboards) and Harvey Cohen (bass guitar), Faull (recognised as one of SA’s best guitarist) together with Humphries’ rock-firm percussive patterns and Nielen Mirror’s bold, captivating voice and lyrics makes this one-night-only live performance a rarity and a must-see.

Nielen’s voice is probably the most distinctive feature of Falling Mirror’s music. He has often been compared to Dylan and although his influences still weave through some of his songs, his sound is undeniably authentic and unique. He is a man with a story to tell and he does so with his exquisitely beautiful music, unmistakable voice, timeless melodies and haunting lyrics. Allan’s guitar playing has the neat clarity of Mark Knopfler, deceptive simplicity, with incredible diversity and delivered with great emotion – but in his case, Falling Mirror released their first album months before anyone has even heard of Dire Straits.

Unusual, hypnotic and totally addictive, Falling Mirror remains unique in rock, anywhere in the world and has remained in the nation’s psyche ever since “Johnny Calls the Chemist” was released. For an unforgettable evening of Rock that will include all their hits and some new numbers, book early to avoid disappointment as tickets are limited.
