Acclaimed Australian actor and musician Alan Fletcher returns to the UK this week, for a two-month run of headline shows across the country. Best known for his iconic role as Dr Karl Kennedy on the long-running drama Neighbours, Fletcher became a household name during his 30-year tenure on the show, and has established a UK career spanning over 45 years. 

“My 2025 tour of the UK and Ireland is my most ambitious and far reaching. Last year’s tour sold out and, for the first time, I had a real sense that people came to hear the music not to just meet my alter-ego Dr Karl. I got that sense from seeing people singing my lyrics back to me and from incredible support for my recorded music. I suspect this tour is going to be a RIPPER and I cannot wait to share my new music with Brit and Irish fans everywhere.”

In 2020, Alan transitioned from rock to a solo career in Americana, Alt-Country, and Folk music. Teaming up with producers Lachlan Bryan and Damian Cafarella (Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes), he released the EP Dispatches and the album The Point. Alan’s recent projects include the album THE POINT and single TELL ‘EM, a Country Music duet with his partner of 35 years and fellow bandmate, Jennifer Hansen.

Plus his single from June “Back to School” that the tour takes it’s name from. Fletch say’s about the song “I have been a student of love all my life and the most valuable lesson I ever had was from English Philosopher Alain de Botton. Alain reminds us that, while it is easy to fall in love, staying in love takes work! We have to learn how to love so, perhaps, the secret to staying in love is to go…..Back to School (cue song).”
