In 2007, his song-writing talent is now receiving recognition.

On the basis of knowing no more than the bass riff to Willie Dixon’s Spoonful, Gary Fletcher landed his first job as bass player with The Breath of Life. He quickly moved on and together with local Streatham musicians soon formed his next band, Garfield Row, a semi-acoustic, folk- rock outfit, playing regularly in a local pub owned by father of Jethro Tull bassist, Glen Cornick. The Row went their separate ways though and Fletcher was soon to be found working regularly in a variety of bands whose styles ranged from Blues / Rock to Folk / Rock to Soul.
