Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl Kennedy)

Alan Fletcher has worked as an actor and musician for more than 45 years in Australia and the United Kingdom.

As an actor, Alan is a household name because of his portrayal of Dr Karl Kennedy for 30 years on the iconic Australian drama Neighbours.

As a musician, Alan has performed as a front man for rock band Waiting Room that played a weekly residency in Melbourne for twelve years and toured the UK ten times over eight years.

In 2020 Alan moved away from Rock and commenced a solo career in Americana/ Alt-Country and Folk. Collaborating with producers Lachlan Bryan and Damian Cafarella Alan's releases include the EP 'Dispatches in 2023, an album 'The Point' in 2024 and his latest album 'Back to School' in February 2026.

Alan also released a Country Music duet entitled TELL 'EM with his partner of 35 years and fellow band mate Jennifer HansenIn Summer 2024 Alan toured the UK with a full band, playing 20 sell-out dates in venues the length and breadth of the country, including a performance at the prestigious Kendal Calling Festival in Lowther.

In 2025 Alan's band played 34 dates throughout the UK and Ireland playing to thousands of enthusiastic supporters and Americana music fans.

Overall Alan Fletcher delivered a show that surprised in the best possible way. He had a fantastic vocal quality throughout as well as some solid guitar playing, but what elevated the evening for me was the balance he struck between thoughtfulness and fun and the strength of his connection with the crowd. It's safe to say he's going to appeal to music fans way beyond just those who know him from 'Neighbours', and personally I'm very intrigued to see where he's going to take his music next. - Entertainment-focus.com - Laura Cooney
