then let us know at:

McFly - Back To The
Future opened in
March 2005 as part of the relaunched
pop music section on Simonswebsite.co.uk
known as The Sound Station. The site was
supposed to be a sister site to a Busted
mini-site but once they split up, the site
was taken down. Since it opened, and the
closure of Sound Station, the site has
changed and grown and now relaunched
with it's fourth look to celebrate the
current album Radio:ACTIVE, the site is
ready for whatever may come...

Thomas
Michael Fletcher (born 17 July
1985 in Harrow, London), commonly known as Tom Fletcher, is one
of the lead vocalists and guitarists in the British pop rock/pop punk
band McFly, along with fellow band members Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter
and Harry Judd. McFly rose to fame after fellow band Busted helped
launch them by inviting them to tour in March 2004.
McFly
Fletcher
plays rhythm guitar and piano for pop/rock band McFly. Fletcher
created McFly shortly after not being chosen for the English band
Busted. He writes the majority of McFly's songs with bandmate Danny,
with occasional contributions by Dougie and Harry. James Bourne,
formerly of Busted, is a good friend and has assisted with songwriting
on occasions. Fletcher named the band after the main character in his
favourite film Back To The Future, Marty McFly.
Songwriting
Tom
Fletcher has written/co-written ten number-one singles: 'Crashed The
Wedding' and 'Who's David' and 'Thunderbirds' for Busted. 'Five
Colours in Her Hair' (Bourne, Jones, Fletcher), 'Obviously' (Fletcher,
Jones, Bourne), 'All About You' (Fletcher), 'I'll Be OK' (Fletcher,
Jones, Poynter), 'Please, Please' (Fletcher, Jones, Poynter, Judd),
'Star Girl' and 'Transylvania' (Poynter, Fletcher) were all written
for his band McFly.
He
has also co-written eight of the songs on Busted's second album, 'A
Present for Everyone', as well as all bar one ('Not Alone' - Jones) of
the tracks on McFly's debut album, 'Room on the 3rd Floor'. The album
shot straight to number one in the UK charts, as did the second album
'Wonderland'. The second album included the track 'She Falls Asleep',
an epic track about a suicidal girl in which Fletcher sings and plays
piano. He helped rewrite the theme tune for the newest 'Thunderbirds'
along with James Bourne, which was a number one single for Busted.
Acting
Fletcher
attended Sylvia Young Theatre School and played "Oliver" in
the west end musical at the London Palladium. He was also featured in
a short film on AIDS awareness, appeared in a TV commercial for
Curry's and was once an extra in EastEnders, kicking a football
in the background. He played a character called Dean in Grange Hill,
but wasn't a main character. Fletcher was also an extra on "The
Ant and Dec Show", where he was sent to buy the boys their
shopping. He has appeared briefly in the video for the 1995 Mike &
The Mechanics song 'Over My Shoulder'. His voice was heard as
"Spot" the dog in the Spot the Dog episode, Spot and his
Grandparents Go to the Carnival.
Fletcher
has also appeared, with the rest of McFly, in popular BBC drama series
Casualty and in the 20th Century Fox film Just My Luck (2006),
which also stars Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine.
