Tom Fletcher: car park composing

from The Savoy Originals · host The Savoy

He spent weeks in a car park writing Paddington the Musical - all while Buzz rehearsed for his debut in Starlight Express - and now Tom Fletcher celebrates rave reviews for both his work... and his son’s.  In this in-depth interview with host Alex Zane, he discusses the behind-the-scenes process, how his early memories performing with his dad led to an iconic moment on 2025’s BBC Children In Need, and how his ‘brutal’ rejection from Busted led to the formation of McFly. Join us at the iconic Savoy London as we toast to Fletcher's achievements in music, theatre, and children's literature.  This episode is brought to you by Laurent-Perrier – a family-owned Champagne House, renowned as the region's great innovator and distinguished for its unique style of freshness, elegance, and purity.  For more information go to www.laurent-perrier.com.  Produced by Matt Hill at Rethink Audio.
