Archie Fisher

One of Scotland's foremost troubadours, Archie Fisher presents haunting ballads that evoke the wild, rough beauty of the Scottish border country. A superb guitarist and songwriter with a rich, supple voice, he is known both as a much-honored folk music master and as a BBC Radio host. In recognition for his contributions to Scottish folk music, Fisher was inducted into the Scots Traditional Music Hall of Fame and in 2006 was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire), a prestigious honor bestowed by Queen Elizabeth. He is also known throughout the country as the host of BBC Radio Scotland's award-winning Travelling Folk show, which he presented for over 25 years from 1983 until this past April.
