Guy Fletcher (born May 25, 1960 in Maidstone, Kent, England, UK) was the keyboardist to the popular 1978-1996 British rock band Dire Straits. He joined the band in 1984, a year before Dire Straits' most successful legendary album, "Brothers In Arms", which put the band in the spotlight. After Dire Straits disbanded, Fletcher continued to be associated with almost every single piece of work concerning Mark Knopfler's solo career, the band's former lead singer and guitarist. Between July and August, 2005, Fletcher completed a world tour with Mark Knopfler, promoting Knopfler's latest solo album, "Shangri-La". Fletcher is a multi-instrumentalist, playing keyboard and several string instruments, including guitars. Also record producer and engineer. Owner of the studio A-Bay. Guy Fletcher is married to Laurie-Ann Fletcher and has one child, named Max Fletcher. Oldest son of Ted Fletcher & Barbara Fletcher. He is not to be confused with his uncle, also Guy Fletcher (2) (his father's brother), who has written several hits for other artists with composing partner Doug Flett. Also, cousin of Justin Fletcher (2) (his uncle's son).
