Fletcher Oxford keen to play the Bay

New Zealand's Got Talent finalist Fletcher Oxford will perform at one of the Bay's biggest summer concerts, Summerfest.

The Tauranga youngster will play about three songs in a 15-minute slot at the family-friendly festival on February 2.

Fletcher, from Oropi, said he was excited about performing to more than 10,000 people.

"It's really exciting and to have a home crowd is really cool. It's better than travelling everywhere to perform, and I feel more comfortable singing where I live."

Fletcher said the chance to sing in the same concert as J Williams, Titanium and I Am Giant was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and he hoped to meet them.
