Nick and Sue. This edition of the Chatterbox
Redux podcast is brought to you in association
with the Old Glory Iconic Music and Sports Superstore.
More from them in a bit. Chatterbox. When the
stars talk, they talk to Nick and Sue. Welcome
back to the Chatterbox Redux podcast with Sue
and Nick and today our special guest is Australian
actor Alan Fletcher most famous for playing Dr.
Carl Kennedy in Neighbours. This is Nick and
Sue with Chatterbox giving you all you need to
know about music. You've been around for a while.
Yes, I suppose you heard what happened. Yes,
mate, yes, I did hear. But I'm so sorry, it's
real bad luck. I hope you know why things happen.
Thanks, sir. I suppose it would be difficult
for anyone in Ram's history not having a pinyon.
Well, believe you me, the fewer people who take
sides in matters like this, the better. Bless
my philosophy. Bless your philosophy. So, where
are you hiding at? Let's get together one night.
Let me give you a number. To be honest, I wasn't
sure how anyone might be feeling about it. Mate,
I've had two marriages go on the blink. I'll
be the last person to go around casting aspersions.
If anyone knows what you're going through, it's
yours truly. Well, thanks, I appreciate that.
See you about, look me up. Sure. If you're feeling
miserable, you want to spend time with someone
who's worse off than yourself. What do you think
the chances are? Reconciliation. Oh, no, it's
the life of that Susan's pretty bleak. Never
give up, eh? Actually, I'm waiting for Louise
and the new nanny. We're having lunch together.
Running a bit late. Should be here any minute
now. That'll be nice. And now on Chatterbox,
we're just lucky enough to welcome Alan Fletcher.
Alan, welcome to Chatterbox. How are you, sir?
Hello, Alan. Nicholas, Sue. Lovely to see your
faces and lovely to be here. And you. Nice to
see you as well. And you look bright and breezy
for 9pm on a Sunday night in Australia. You're
looking good. Oh, that's very kind. I'm very
refreshed at the moment. I tend to get up early
and work hard on Neighbours and things like that.
Then I do a bit of, sorry, not Neighbours, but
on my tour. And then I jump into some exercise
and then watch a bit of TV, so I'm feeling very
refreshed. because the main thing obviously I'm
going to be talking to you about is of course
you're coming over to the UK for a concert tour
and I see here obviously to be doing some research
that singing is nothing new, it's nothing to
do with neighbours finishing and you're going
into that. I could see that you had a group in
the past called Waiting Room I've got a date
here of 2004, seems to have got formed. But you've
also been doing a tour in Australia for your
concerts as well. We've got some shows in Australia.
Primarily we do focus on the UK. That's fair
to say because I've got a very strong supporter
base there. But we try to do shows in Australia.
It's just very hard to do shows in Australia
because the distances are so vast. I mean, you
know if you have a look at the map of where I'm
going and Nicholas over the UK You'll see that
a lot of the places are like two hours apart
So, you know, it's actually completely feasible
to play a lot of venues, but here in Australia.
Well, you know Brisbane where I'm gonna go and
do some shows is 2 ,000 kilometers away, you
know, and so it has to be a plane and That gets
very expensive and it makes it very hard to tour
and that is more than twice the length of the
entire That's actually double that Two hours
traveling to us is a long way, but of course
in Australian terms Well, it's it's interesting.
You say that because you know what? In Australia
trying to convince people to go for drive for
like 40 minutes to see a show Many cases people
won't do it. They'd sort of to be honest too
far. Whereas in the UK I might be doing a show
in York and people from way up near Scarborough,
quite happily have driven down. If I'm in Newcastle,
I've got people from Middlesbrough have just
driven up. And it's quite common, I find, in
the UK for people to travel quite long distances
just to see a show. In those terms, yeah. I mean,
Scarborough to York doesn't sound far to us.
And for us to go to Brighton, you mentioned 40
miles. Brightened from where we are on the South
Coast is about 40 miles. So to us. It's better
now that I was driving So that's not too bad.
We would happy to me would travel to London Yeah,
that's 160 something. So, you know, so yeah,
we would do that I think in terms of but I don't
think we appreciate until we look at it in Australian
terms just how far we know sir bloody big islands
but we you know appreciate quite how far those
places are totally yeah totally totally yeah
now tell me i mean obviously we know about uh
the acting side and you know infamous not just
famous infamous for being in neighbors in a nice
way but soil ask you some neighbors questions
but i would like to know if you're going back
to when you were growing up What did you really
want to be first? Was the priority of your aims
in life going to be a singer or was it to be
an actor? Oh definitely an actor. When I was
12 years old I was at primary school still and
I was doing a musical. for the local school was
called Little Gypsy Gay and I played the gypsy
king and at one stage in the rehearsal the director
stopped the teacher who was directing stopped
the rehearsal and said um something's not right
something's not right um Alan could you not sing
and And after I stopped singing then everyone
was happy. So that was obviously the problem.
So I wasn't going to be a singer early on. But
acting was a big thing for me. It always was.
And I was actually pretty good at school. My
brothers and my father are all scientists and
so forth. And I was quite good at all those things.
But I just had to act. And I went professional
when I was 20 years old. Wonderful. Absolutely
wonderful, and you've not looked back. I'm going
to pick up some more of the music side in a minute.
I think Sue would like to ask you some acting
and some neighbours questions. Just two questions.
What age was you when you went into Neighbours?
1994, so I would have been 37. In fact, I had
only just turned 37. But it wasn't the only thing
that happened in that year, Sue. My beautiful
wife, Jennifer, when I started on Neighbours,
she was about six months pregnant with our first
child, Veronica. So you can imagine for an actor
where life is pretty unstable, although mercifully
I had worked a lot, but you know, you expect
to be unemployed any minute. And so for someone
to come along and say, oh, we're offering you
a one -year job on a show called Neighbours,
can you imagine how wonderful that was knowing
I had a baby on the way? So it was fantastic.
And you know what? I had 31 one -year contracts
after that contract. Amazing. Yeah. So there
you go. Now my daughter's 31 years old and sitting
on the couch. How did you get the role as Carl
Kennedy? Well, I was quite fortunate because
I had worked with the Grundy Corporation, who
made Neighbours, also made a show called Embassy,
which was a new show that they were doing with
the Australian Broadcasting Commission. And this
was a very high quality drama. It was only 13
episodes a year. And I auditioned for that and
got a terrific lead role. So the casting agent
for Grundy was this genius casting agent Jan
Russ. who cast for Grundy for many, many years.
And so when I, when Neighbours came around, the
Kennedy family, she invited me to audition and,
I mean, other people auditioned as well, but
I was lucky enough to get the part. So I was
very comfortable auditioning for Neighbours because
I knew Jan very well, but I was more comfortable
when I found out Jackie Woodburn was playing
Susan because Jackie and I, of course, famously
great, great friends. Yeah. I really like it.

So how old were you when you first took to the
microphone, when you decided, oh, I'm going to
take this singing side up now? Well, it's interesting
because I've always sung. I mean, when I started
in the theatre in Perth in the 70s, I did a number
of musicals then. Then I did some musicals in
Sydney. And so singing wasn't alien to me. And
I also... later in life, I started doing concerts,
swing concerts and so forth. I was invited to
do those as well, so I sang quite a bit. Then
one night I was out to dinner with my beautiful
wife, it was Valentine's Day actually, and there
were a couple of guys there playing songs and
we got chatting and they said, why don't you
get up and sing a song with us? So I did and
then a little while later they said, hey, you
know what, we could form a band, we could do
some work with you. I said you know what I'd
love to do that but I can't go out and gig three
sets a night until three in the morning but we
could do it at the neighbor's night we have every
Monday night in Melbourne. Well we did in 2004
we started up and within a few months the word
got around in the UK that this band existed and
we got booked and we got booked for two tours
in the first year, two in the second, and then
after that one a year for the next six, seven
years. So all up we did about 10 tours of the
UK. It was a smash with students. We had a fantastic
time playing rock and roll, recorded an album,
made a bit of money out of that album. I'm very
proud of it. In fact, I'm going to start singing
a few more of the songs from that album on my
next tour and making them a bit more country.
So yeah, it was a really, really great time.
So I suppose really In terms of, you know, band
music, 2004 was where I started. My understanding,
correct me if I'm wrong, is that neighbours basically
only survived so long mainly because of a British
audience. It was a huge British audience and
I think that's why it had that second sort of
life, if you like, and I think it was my understanding
is it was generally due to the huge British audience
that really kept it going so long. Yeah, well
that's absolutely true. I've got to say, Neighbours
was very different from Home and Away. Home and
Away was funded by a television station in Australia,
Channel 7, and was put on at prime time at 7pm
at night. And so it was immensely popular in
Australia. And the United Kingdom didn't, kind
of, they bought home in a way for a cheaper fee,
if you like, just to show it. But Neighbours
was primarily paid for by the United Kingdom.
and the Australian TV station didn't have to
pay as much. So we relied very much on the UK.
Now obviously when we moved from the BBC to Channel
5, that was one particular deal, but then when
Channel 5 decided they didn't want neighbours
anymore, the money dried up and neighbours wouldn't
survive without a British broadcaster and along
came Amazon. We were saved in that respect. So
we've got two more years than we ever would have
had. Very grateful for that. And that's 40 years
of television there. And, you know, this is a
good opportunity, as any, for me to say thank
you so much to everyone in the UK who watched
Neighbours, because you kept us going for 40
years. Going back, it was the very clever part
on the BBC where they didn't go 7pm in the evening.
They went like 5 something. On the other side
now there was a soap opera on ITV called Crossroads
been going since the early 60s was going right
through to 88 times something like that and Central
television they just wanted it gone. They killed
off all the main characters I mean ridiculously
killed them off and he finished oddly enough.
Nobody watched it anymore, but the BBC thought
We got something here. There was a market in
the UK for a tea time soap opera and basically
on the BBC Neighbours went in at the same time
as Crossroads would have been on on the other
side and it worked The late teens and all that
sort of age group and it worked the same audience
of Crossroads had lost I believe Became the neighbors
audience and what a great idea something the
BBC was thinking that day and it yeah I'm framed
and 5 p .m. Might not work. So if I 30 may not
works in Australia, but it's certainly worth
No, 530s would have been a death slot in Australia.
It's interesting you say that because my understanding
also is that when Neighbours first started it
was only on in the middle of the day. But it
was so popular that a lot of people were skiving
off work or skiving off school. to watch the
show. And so, as I understand it, there were
actually requests made to the BBC to show it
a second time so that people would actually turn
up for classes again. I don't know, that might
not be true. Sue's nodding. If it's not true,
it sounds great, so let's just make it an urban
myth. We heard it on Shatterbox, that's true.
That's the one, brilliant. Tell us about, I mean
I was, I didn't sky for two o 'clock in the afternoon,
well I wasn't at school, I was at work by then,
old man. They used to change our lunch break,
it was an hour, but they changed the time so
we could watch Neighbours. The whole UK curriculum
changes for Neighbours. Yeah. Brilliant. Love
it, the whole school day. Okay Alan, so let's
get to 20, obviously Neighbours has finished,
unfortunately, last year I believe, but Amazon
didn't. come up more money for another yeah another
series or not as yet at least they're like it
could it happen I shouldn't think so at this
stage I shouldn't think so yeah right anyway
that brings us to 2026 and you're coming over
for what I would say is the massive tour of the
UK and a couple of dates yeah a couple in Northern
Ireland I think so yeah I mean obviously you
feel the times right yeah it's very ambitious
Well, we toured last year, we did 34 dates last
year. It was very ambitious. So and I originally
thought to myself, I'll come back again in 2026,
but I'll probably do less dates. And then I just
kept booking dates. I don't know, I just couldn't
stop myself. And so I'm actually going to be
in the UK and Ireland and Europe for four months.
I'll basically be living over there and we're
going to be doing kind of three tours, but I'm
going to play a couple of festivals. I'm going
to do a tour of just a trio, just myself, Jen
and my guitarist in some cities. Then I'm going
to jump in and play the full band for three weeks,
take a month off while they go back to Australia
to play and then they come back we'll do another
three weeks. So I start on the 31st of July and
I finish on the 1st of November. That's brilliant
and very impressive. So it's not too short a
tour at all. I can see how many dates you had.
And yeah, Jen and I are at a point in our life
where we both just concentrate on the music.
We do a lot of duets. Jen writes her own music.
She plays the keyboards and she sings with me.
So yeah, we're the von Trapps. Yes, very good.
I like it. Chichester is the nearest I've seen
so far. We've got some great dates here, actually.
You've got Camden. You're in North London. You're
at Camden. 31st of July. Lincoln 19th of August.
Sheffield 20th of August. Chichester, nearest
one I've seen to us so far. 22nd of August. And
you're in Royal Lemton Spa. 23rd of August. Northern
Ireland, you go to Belfast, 26th of August. Then
in Republic of Ireland, 27th of August, Dublin.
That's quite close to us. 2nd of September Canterbury,
and then skimming through Worthing, that's the
nearest one so far, Southampton, Falmouth, Swansea,
Cheltham, Exeter, Bristol, you've got some good
cities here, Manchester, Liverpool, I'm skipping
through a bit now because you've got so many.
Yeah, Craig Yarmouth, Cambridge, Lancaster, Scarborough,
Edinburgh. Yeah, we get it. We get that. This
is one hell of a tour. Yeah, we're gonna have
a great time. I'm really looking forward to getting
back to Inverness, actually, because I did a
show there, a stage show, and people kept saying,
oh, when are you gonna come play here with the
band? We haven't been up there, so I'm very excited
to get to Inverness. So, you know, we're just
trying a few different things too. Glasgow is
always great, but we couldn't get a venue in
Glasgow Central, so we're going to Motherwell.
That joins on, yeah. Yeah, just nearby. It will
be in Scottish Borders as well, which is terrific.
Never played in there. Carlisle. It would be
great. Otley and places like that. So yeah, we're
getting about. We're getting about. Nick and
Sue, if you're looking for the perfect gift,

Sue with Chatterbox, giving you all you need
to know about musical entertainment. Chatterbox,
Chatterbox, Chatterbox, Chatterbox, Chatterbox,
Chatterbox. Darling, please can we go and watch
and listen to Alan? Well I'll be watching and
listening, you can watch or listen or do what
you like. I'll organise some tickets there, don't
you worry about that. You just email me and tell
me what show you'd like to come to and of course
I'll make sure you're there. We get to meet Alan
Fletcher as a musician and I get to meet Cole
Kennedy as the actor. Yes. I have to say a lot
of people do come to my shows because obviously
they are Neighbours fans, that's true. A lot
of people who come are people who have been to
my gigs before and they've really liked the music
so they're coming back for the music which is
very, very heartwarming for me. And yeah, the
music has always been a big part of my audience's
reason for being there. So yeah, it's a double...
double -edged sword really you know people come
people like to say hello to me and get a photo
but also they like the tunes. I bet you get that
all the time you're walking down the street and
people ask for your autograph or a photograph
with you. Yeah, it's quite common, of course,
and I'm more than happy to do it because, you
know, I enjoy a fairly gentle level of fame,
Sue, to be honest. People, you know, people are
always lovely to me. It's always a very warm
experience and it never troubles me and I'm always
delighted to do it. A lot of times people don't
recognise me though, I'll be fair to say. It's
your eyes and your voice. This must be good on
your part of an actor. I'm not a soap opera person.
And other than hearing the Neighbours theme in
the background, when I first thought it started
at tea time, obviously it moved there later on,
but knowing the theme, and knowing that Jason
and Kylie were on it, I've actually never seen
an episode. But I knew who you were, what you
looked like, and the part you played. So that
must be how good you are, because I've never
actually watched it. There you go, there you
go. I'm all pervasive. Yeah, that's all right.
Now that's a massive tour you've got coming up.
Now, um, I only skimmed through some of the dates
and didn't give them all properly so people can
go to alanfletchermusic .com and there's a whole
thing of all your shows there if they click on
your list and I understand, just correct me if
I'm wrong, people, the thing here where people
can join your mailing list for your latest news
and find that you're not on tour and they receive
15 % discount on tickets and merchandise, yeah?
That's correct. So, um, I really encourage people
to do that. I have a lot of subscribers who do
that and a lot of people who come to see my shows
are my subscribers. If people subscribe to my
other website, alanfletcher .net, they get the
same deal and they get a birthday message. So
a lot of people love that one. But you can just
subscribe to Alan Fletcher Music and the same
sort of things will apply there. And it's wonderful
when people do join the mailing list because
it forms a personal connection. I've got a live
album coming out this year, which I'll be touring
with. and what I did was I invited everyone who
would come to see my gigs to send me a photo
of us together and I've montage that and they'll
be on the album sleeve. So it's really, it's
beautiful to have that connection. That's cool.
We'll finish shortly, but we do all your social
media properly right at the end, so if you want
to chuck the other website at them, which I haven't
got in front of me, then you can do all that.
I'd like to ask you a question. It's kind of
a personal question, but not really personal.
If Wikipedia's got your date right, it ties up
with what you said during the interview. You're
69. You're looking really good on it. What is
the secret, Alan? Well, what is it? How are you
looking so great? You're very kind. You're very
kind. I mean, exercise is a big thing. You know,
I mainly just walk and I do a few light weights
and so forth and stretching. So exercise is a
big part of just, you know, keeping yourself
upright and keeping yourself fit and feeling
good. You know, I've got a very beautiful wife.
I mean, she's a little bit younger than myself.
She's very vibrant. She's very active and I've
got to keep up with her. So, you know, she keeps
me young. I like that. I like it. I like it.
Keep me young. Have a younger lady. Thank you.
Another question. This is quite an interesting
one. I see you're over it now but a little while
ago you had a bit of an alopecia issue and I
know you spoke to the papers about it. Now there's
going to be somebody on some of these stations
that have alopecia, maybe they've just had it
and they've got a confidence issue and that.
How would you, and you look great now and I can
see you're over it, but what would you say to
them if they're going through that now, the confidence
thing? What would you say? Yeah, look, that's
really interesting because for myself, being
older, I didn't let it trouble me I thought okay
I've just got to accept it there's nothing to
be done about this so I mean it's not a pleasant
thing to go through but you know it's really
tough on younger people particularly women particularly
young girls because they can often lose big chunks
of their hair come out and they get ridiculed
and so forth so I totally appreciate how tricky
it is for people I was I was very fortunate over
here because First of all, I lost my hair in
some patches, which was a bit weird, but then
it all fell out. I lost every hair on my body.
So it was what they call alopecia totalis. I
was lucky enough to be treated by a professor
of dermatology over here, who's a world expert.
And with the use of some pretty potent drugs,
I have to say, he was able to suppress my immune
system so that my hair could grow back without
my own immune system killing it, which is what
alopecia is. So yeah, I got lucky from that point
of view. Yeah, I'm very pleased it's come back.
I mean, I haven't got it all back. If I turned
around, there'd be a nice little ball spot there
for you at the back. But that's got nothing to
do with alopecia. So yeah, I'm very pleased.
I'm chuffed that I got my hair back. What about
that singer that was on... um she used to sing
for her audiences she had her own show but she
wasn't famous i can't think of her name she had
a alopecia that alan was talking about she was
singing wouldn't she and letting people know
about it yeah it's just it's just you know i
could see there's going to be somebody at home
going through it you know and totally and i wish
them all the best and you know just dealing talking
to a good dermatologist is the key and and uh
um but the most important thing to remember is
that we are not defined by our hair You know,
we are who we are. What do you got coming up
next after this tour? Oh, that's interesting.
Well, when I get back, it'll be November. So
obviously, at Christmas time, there's not a lot
happens in Australia. But I have already planned
a show for next year, which is kind of a bit
different at one of our major venues here in
Melbourne, a show which will involve other musicians,
as well as, of course, every year we go to the
Tamworth Country Music Festival, which is Australia's
biggest country music festival. And I'll be planning
Australian dates. like crazy but also be honest
before this tour is even over I'll be booking
probably booking tours for next year so you've
got to book them a long way ahead so it's it's
it's never stops basically we're going to be
very busy I think the way you're going with the
size of the tours bearing in mind this was going
to be a smaller tour but is it I think it's is
it too bigger than last year already now yeah
yeah I got a feeling if you booked the Albert
Hall you could fill it up now I have no doubt
I've got a lot of doubts about that, but that's
fine. Tell you what, we'll be chatting about
that in a very short period of time, whether
it be next year or the year after, and you'll
be filling it up, and I'm going to say, told
you so, Alan. Oh, bless you for that. Thank you
very much. I do like the, yeah, I choose my venues
based on about a hundred between a hundred, a
hundred and thirty attendance. I like that sort
of size. I like the intimacy of those audiences.
It means I can get to meet everybody. Now, you
know, if you do a show to 400 people, you can't
say hello to everyone. So it's kind of, you know,
it's a different show. It's a different show.
And it's not what I do. And in terms of albums
and things that you've got out at the moment
or you got coming out, tell us about those. Right,
well the first album, first of all I released
a single and then an EP when I first started
out in this new genre of music in 2023. I released
an album in 2024, late 2024 called The Point,
which I'm very proud of, and then very recently
released another album which is called Back to
School. So I've got quite a bit of material out
there and it's all available of course on the
streaming services. And that waiting room band
we talked about, ironically, that music is still
out there too, also, as Alan Fletcher and The
Waiting Room. And a lot of people, well, still
a lot of people listening to that as well. So
I'm all over Spotify and Apple Music and Amazon
Music and the like, and all of them. So if people
are interested in my music, I'd love it if they
went out and had a listen. AlanFletcherMusic
.com, which you mentioned, has also got some
video clips on it. Uber Savvy Music has a YouTube
channel where all my songs and videos can be
seen. So there's plenty to check out, plenty
to listen to. I'd be delighted if people did.
And as we said earlier, people can go on your
websites, join your mailing lists, and not only
do they get the latest news, they can receive
15 % discounts on tickets and merch. True, true
that. And I've got another website too, alanfletcher
.net, which is kind of primarily for acting,
where most of my subscribers join because they
get a birthday message as well. So in their first
year of subscription. So I've got quite a few
people who subscribe to there and they get the
same deal on discounts. Fantastic. And what other
social media? I think there's some YouTube stuff,
isn't there? Yeah, you're going to go looking
for Ubersavvy Music. savvy music and you're going
to go looking for Alan Fletcher on Instagram,
