A Longing For Home is a studio album by British guitarist and composer Nick Fletcher, released in early 2025.

The album combines virtuoso guitar technique (in the vein of Steve Hackett, Allan Holdsworth, and Robert Fripp), atmospheric keyboard arrangements, complex rhythmic structures, and melodic symphonic passages. The music intertwines elements of classical guitar, 70s progressive rock, and modern fusion.

Nick Fletcher is a highly accomplished classical and rock guitarist, known for his collaborations with Steve Hackett and his participation in the John Hackett Band.

The concept of A Longing For Home revolves around philosophical and emotional reflections on the search for one's place, spiritual home, nostalgia, and inner harmony in a changing world.

On the record, Fletcher demonstrates a wide range of guitar techniques, from complex electric solos using swipe and legato to sophisticated acoustic fragments.
