Legendary Glasgow-born singer, songwriter and guitarist Archie Fisher is
known as Scotland's foremost troubadour. His rich baritone, masterful
delivery and intricate fingerpicking have earned him a place in the Scots
Traditional Music Hall of Fame as well as a coveted MBE award from Queen
Elizabeth, and have brought decades of delight to his many fans across the
globe. A musically rich family background yielded three career singers:
Archie and his sisters Ray and Cilla. Varied parental influences from
vaudeville and skiffle to Hebridean Gaelic traditions created an unrivalled
depth in his singing style, while political activism led him to match poetic
lyricism with meaningful and heartfelt messages. Long familiar with radio,
television and studio production, Archie has always kept busy with top-rated
projects, from the BBC's Hootenanny and Travelling Folk programs to his
latest CD, Windward Away. Partnerships with performers such as the Clancy
Brothers, Jansch & Renbourn and Garnet Rogers complete the picture of a
world class performer, long recognized and rewarded for his prodigious
talents. We are honored to welcome him to Woods Hole.
