About Me

The official Myspace page of freelance blues-rock slide guitarist Ben Fletcher.The New CD, 'Rain On Film' is now available at gigs. After some reconstructive work it will be available to buy online from Ben Fletcher Blues.comWelcome to one of Ben's many cyber advertising boards. In the interest of tireless promotion we shall now wax lyrical about his passionate and now localy renowned guitar pyrotechnics. There, done....no wait there's more....Specialising in the dark art of Slide guitar, his blues based tone has won him fans at gigs across the South West of England. Thats actualy playing slide, not hammering away at the 12th fret like a mad man, though he can do that if you'd prefer.The new year will see the start of a Solo acoustic project and maybe a CD of the same ilk. With the view to expanding the gigging radius.The Band will continue to deafen the unsuspecting, with driving blues. Not British bouncy blues, not woke up this morning and ran over my dog blues, driving in your face, pumped on steroids, veins popping out of your forehead angry blues, but done with taste and sensitivity....Why blues? From the man himself......'Cos playing blues makes me happy' grab a slice of the irony and check out the new tracks. Till the next time on the witching hour.....
