This article is about the Dire Straits musician; for the songwriter see Guy Fletcher OBE.
Guy Fletcher (born May 24, 1960 in Maidstone, Kent) was the keyboardist to the popular 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 and in 2006 rounded off the duets tour with Mark and Emmylou Harris.
Fletcher is a multi-instrumentalist, playing keyboard and several string instruments, including guitars.
Guy Fletcher is married to Laurie-Ann and has two children, Max and Leon.
He is not to be confused with his uncle, also Guy Fletcher, who has written several hits for other artists with composing partner Doug Flett.
