Gary Fletcher Bio 2008
In the mid ‘70s Fletcher joined long-running blues / rock band, Sam Apple Pie, later known as The Vipers leading to a meeting in late ’78 with Dave Kelley of The Wildcats, a new band put together by ex-Rory Gallagher drummer, Wilgar Campbell.
In late 1978, Gary’s association with The Wildcats led him to be suggested for the bass chair in a new band, formed by Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness (ex of Manfred Mann) ex-John Mayall drummer, Hughie Flint, and Dave Kelly, “The Blues Band.” was born.
The success of The Blues Band was as instantaneous as it was inevitable. Seventeen albums and countless tours later their unique and personal interpretation of the blues is now the stuff of legend… Fletcher had found a home.
