Testimony

“Fletcher is quietly confident enough of a wordsmith to know that it’s always the story, not the answer, that matters. ”

Holly Smith - Why Now

“....what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It’s safe to say he’s going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from ‘Neighbours’”
