Falconer & Gunkel

About Me

HI!
We're Falconer and Gunkel, a singer / songwriting duo from Hertfordshire. We write and perform our own material have posted it on this site to see what the world thinks of our music! We are big fans of melodies and catchy pop songs which we hope is reflected in our tunes. Come and see us play live, it's a hoot!!
If you would like to book us or send us some love then please contact us at [email protected] or join our Facebook group "Falconer & Gunkel" and tell us your requirements. Always happy to hear from people.
NEW ALBUM ''OK!!'' IS NOW AVAILABLE FROM US FOR JUST £6

We have been writing material together since we met and now gig regularly as well as spend most of our time in our studio. All of our songs are written, arranged, performed and produced by us which has been a very good experience. Having gained a lot of support from people over the short time performing together, it has been very much appreciated by both of us. Keep visiting as we will be updating this page frequently.
Brett Falconer was born in Harlow on 8th May 1985 and has been playing the guitar since he was 11.
Ben Gunkel
was born in Chatham on 19th December 1982 and has been playing the piano since he was 6.
Falconer & Gunkel are taking bookings in and around the South East and London area and guarantee a good show! Although we would love to just blast out our own material at every gig (we've got about 30 of our own songs), we are also available as a covers band playing material from the 60's to now, including some new material such as Amy Winehouse's cover of "Valerie" and Duffy's "Mercy" amongst others and have over 100 cover songs in our vault.
