The Falcons first formed as a group in late 1960 in the Dunfermline area and
Trevor,
the only remaining member of that first group joined in early 1961, originally as a Sax player! then, after 6 months swapped to lead
vocalist!.
Since then the group has undergone numerous changes, not only in members but
in names as well!
However, when Davie Porterfield joined in 1996, it was then decided to revert to
the original name “The Falconsâ€.
The band, well known throughout Central Scotland as a ‘Rock Covers’ band,
recently put together a sixties music show
called – ‘The Sixties Experience’ – with music from artists such as, The
Hollies, The Fortunes,
Credence Clearwater Revival, The Searchers, Roy Orbison, The Small Faces
and many, many more; with emphasis being on classic harmonies.
The show has been a great success – “after all we’ve the best decade in music
to choose from†says Trevor,
and the band is now planning to take it further a field
to new and larger audiences.
The band will also continue to play their first love – Rock Covers – of
artists including Pink Floyd,
Steely Dan, Foreigner, Bon Jovi etc. wherever and whenever they can !
As a Result two further shows have evolved from this beginning, "Through the years" and the latest one, "REELIN' IN THE YEARS" - the latter involving a lot of their musical friends and colleagues! - Both of these shows are now available on DVD! !
