Allan Faull, founding member and lead guitarist of the iconic SA rock band Falling Mirror, died on Tuesday 24 September after suffering a major heart attack in a Cape Town Studio, while recording the band’s new album.
Faull (63), an ex Bishops pupil from Rondebosch, is described as an incredibly humble, musical genius, with a lifelong passion for guitar.
He was responsible for writing all of the Falling Mirror music on their five 70s and 80s releases, together with his cousin and lead singer Nielen Mirror.

Oh so sad & while recording a long awaited album. Does anyone know if sufficient was laid down to release something?
I love Falling Mirror and wish they’d re-release all their albums; a “best of” is no substitute. Really sad to read this about Allan, I remember him from Sillwood days, as a very quiet and humble soul.
Albums are available from Fresh Music.
So sad. Thank you Allan for all the fun I have had from your and Neilen’s music. Thinking of you Nielen and sending good thoughts to you.
