Timeline
Archie Macdonald Fisher (born 23 October 1939) is a Scottish folk singer and songwriter.
Archie Fisher was born in Glasgow on 23 October 1939 into a large singing family.
His sister Cilla Fisher is also a professional singer, as was his late sister Ray.
In 1960 he moved to Edinburgh and appeared regularly at "The Howff" folk club run by Roy Guest.
In 1962 Ray and Archie released the single "Far Over the Forth" on the Topic Records label and appeared on the BBC Hootenanny programme.
By 1964 the Edinburgh Fringe could boast a folk festival in its own right.
An album of the participants was released on Decca.
Bert Jansch and Briggs performed together but this was never recorded.
In 1965 the whole family released the album Traditional and New Songs from Scotland.
He has released several solo albums since his first, eponymous album, in 1968.
Fisher composed the song "The Final Trawl", recorded on the album Windward Away, that several other groups and singers, including The Clancy Brothers, have also recorded.
At an early stage Fisher recognised the power of Barbara Dickson's singing and in 1969 invited her to guest on his albums.
His live act included 'All Around My Hat', later to become a hit for Steeleye Span.
Starting in the mid-1970s, he produced four folk albums with Makem and Clancy.
He also performed with them and other groups as a backup singer and guitarist.
He hosted his own radio show on BBC Radio Scotland for almost three decades.
His song "Witch of the Westmorland" was recorded by Dickson in 1971 on her album From the Beggar's Mantle, by Fisher himself on The Man With a Rhyme in 1976, by Stan Rogers in 1979 and by Golden Bough in 1983.
He also produced the Irish duo's first four albums, Tommy Makem & Liam Clancy (1976), The Makem & Clancy Concert (1977), Two for the Early Dew (1978) and The Makem & Clancy Collection (1980).
After Barbara Dickson achieved fame as an easy listening singer, it was many years before she sang folk songs again.
When she did, Fisher was invited back to join her.
His style of singing is very gentle and he avoids all electronic instruments.
"Lindsay" has been recorded by John Renbourn and has been a highlight at his live shows for years, while "Mountain Rain" has been recorded by Wizz Jones (along with John Renbourn on guitar).
Fisher now lives in the south of Scotland.
In 1983 Fisher started hosting the long-running BBC Radio Scotland folk programme Travelling Folk.
He was awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List in 2006.
In 2009 Come All ye Fisher Lasses from The Fisher family was included in Topic Records 70 year anniversary boxed set Three Score and Ten as track two on the fourth CD.
He retired in April 2010, handing over presenting duties to fiddler Bruce MacGregor.
