Event information
Master guitarist, singer and songwriter Archie Fisher is among Scotland’s foremost troubadours. He was inducted into the Scots Traditional Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and awarded an MBE for services to traditional music in 2007. Born in Glasgow Archie first became interested in folk music through the Skiffle era of the late 1950’s. He was based in Edinburgh during the 60s amd 70s in the contemporary company of musicians such as Robin Williamson, Clive Palmer and Mike Heron who formed the original Incredible String Band and was an early guitar colleague of Bert Jansch. Archie’s debut album dates back to 1968 and he soon established a great reputation as a writer and interpreter. He later got involved in record production with the dynamic Scottish band Silly Wizard. During the 1980’s he turned his attention to freelance radio work and it was also around this time that he began a partnership with Canadian songwriter Garnet Rogers. His current Windward Away release on Red House has already achieved widespread acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.
