16.01.2022 Fletcher Pilon TONIGHT at Ron Crowe Oval Fletcher Pilon, winner of Australia’s Got Talent in 2016, will be performing at the Ron Crowe Oval TONIGHT at 7:00pm. 2017 has been a busy year for Fletcher. His passion for song writing and exploring new musical ideas has taken him on a song writing tour to Nashville and Los Angeles where he has immersed himself in the opportunity to co-write songs with other talented artists. This year alone, Fletcher has written 40 songs.... During 2018, Fletcher will continue to compose lyrics and explore new musical ideas with a focus on establishing a collection of songs that will work well together on an album. Although he lives on the Central Coast of NSW, Fletcher has strong family ties to West Wyalong with his father being born in West Wyalong and his grandparents growing up in the area. Fletcher’s girlfriend Layla also grew up in West Wyalong. Fletcher is stoked to be playing in West Wyalong tonight. He is excited to be playing a show to people in a town that is so special to his family. Fletcher will be performing some of his own songs tonight along with a couple of cover songs.
