Neighbours\u00a0star and singer-songwriter\u00a0Alan Fletcher\u00a0kicks off the festive season with the release of his brand new original song, \u2018It\u2019s Gonna Be A Good Christmas\u2019. The track, which sees Fletcher following his Americana roots, could easily be imagined as the anthem to a \u2018Ramsay Street Christmas Day\u2019, and is available to stream and download here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Having already released three original Christmas songs to date, Alan shared, \u201cI love Christmas music so much I feel compelled to try and create an original Holiday song every year! \u2018It\u2019s Gonna Be a Good Christmas\u2019 is my country music take on an Aussie Christmas. I\u2019ve enjoyed a lot of family Christmas celebrations over the years, and I have drawn upon those experiences, and a few myths, to create this rollicking bush ballad\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new release follows the return of iconic Aussie soap, Neighbours, in September. In celebration of the return, Fletcher released \u201c(I\u2019ve Got a) Crush on Susie K<\/a>\u201d, a catchy and humorous fan tribute to one of Ramsay Street\u2019s most beloved characters, Susan Kennedy. This track is available to stream\/download worldwide, and also features on Fletcher\u2019s CD The Lighter Side of Alan Fletcher, available to purchase\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI sang the song every night on the Neighbours Celebration tour and fans loved it!\u201d said Alan. \u201cI was overwhelmed with the number of requests to record and release the song.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighbours: The Celebration Tour earlier this year saw Fletcher appear in fifteen sold-out dates across the UK, which he followed up with a solo headline tour in celebration of his recent album\u00a0The Point<\/a>\u00a0and 2022 debut EP Dispatches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
