“In June 2022 Nick Fletcher, the progressive rock guitarist known for his work with the John Hackett Band, will release the follow up to his first solo album, 2021's 'Cycles of Behaviour'- entitled 'The Cloud of Unknowing'
The concept of the recording is about finding meaning in a seemingly meaningless world! using ideas from Greek mythology and mysticism the music takes the listener on a voyage of our inner selves to take us from darkness to light. At the heart of the album is an epic 23-minute suite entitled 'Scenes from the Subconcious Mind'. The suite is a journey through dreams and nightmares to a place of peace in the form of the acoustic composition 'Arcadia'”
“Nick Fletcher is probably the best jazz rock guitarist in the country with a classical guitar technique to boot. I
consider him an absolute star”
– Steve Hackett
“"The Cloud of Unknowing is in my opinion a master-work! And is by a long way my album of the year so far, further releases by bands and artists will have to go a long way to better what I have just heard"
– Stevie Iona Vaughn
