ALAN FLETCHER BAND
IMV 16th September 2026
Wednesday was one of the annual treats, always one of the best nights at the The International Music Venue with the return of Fletch fronting his band, the Alan Fletcher Band.
The Band hit the stage then Fletch walks out to great reception, always smiling and they instantly generate a warm positive vibe as they kick into the music.
Fletch himself is a fine guitar player, great singer and writes some incredibly good songs... and beyond that is a perfect front man, full of good humour and good vibes.
The band are high quality.. to his left, Fletch's wife, Jennifer Hansen, is a fine keyboard player and singer. Slightly behind, Lachlan Bryan is a master bass player while Ben Middleton is a high quality drummer.
Across the stage Riley Catherall is a truly superb guitar player, his playing fluid, always in perfect unison with the song and hugely enjoyable... the guitar, tone is also sublime.
Last nights set was a mix of their high quality country music, but included a couple of pieces from a Rock'n'Roll album Fletch made with a previous bamd... rock'n'roll with a distinct country flavour
Fletch, Jennifer and Riley all contribute songs to the show, Jennifer sings several pieces and Riley contrbutes a couple of solo pieces.
The whole band is a total joy to see and hear, great music, great joy and positive vibes throughout... definitely always one of the really great nights at the venue delivered by a simply terrific band this gig being no exception to that rule
The sound as ever in the hands of Joe was immaculate
Fletch cares for his fans... he always spends the (extended) interval and post gig time with the audience, insisting he wont leave until everyone who wants one, has had a chance for a chat with him, a picture with him and an autograph as required... and it is clear that the whole band are as lovely people as they appear on stage
Keep music live... keep music real... support your local venues
