  • Archie Fisher & Garnet Rogers
    FSGW and Artisphere Present Arlington, VA The Archie Fisher & Folklore Society of Garnet Rogers Greater A Reunion of Old Friends Washington Tuesday, April 12 • 8 pm Archie Fisher is a name well known to FSGW members as one of Scotland’s finest singers, songwriters, and musicians. He grew up in a family of 6 sisters, the only son of a Gaelic-speaking mother from the island of Vatersay, and a policeman father in Glasgow who loved music hall songs. Archie and his sister Ray first burst upon the folk scene in a skiffle group in the 1950s, then performed as a duo on a TV show, “Here and Now.” Archie was influenced early on by the music of The Weav- ers and Woody Guthrie, also soaking up traditional songs and ballads from singers like Jeannie Robertson who visited Glasgow. He began writing his own songs in the 1960s and is a sensitive interpreter of others’ songs. Archie’s guitar accompaniment is understated and beautifully crafted. He was awarded the MBE in 2006 for services to traditional Scottish music. In addition to his musical talents, he hosted the BBC Radio Scotland program “Travelling Folk” from 1983-2010 and produced many excellent audio documentaries. Garnet Rogers is a powerful Canadian singer, (with a rich and moving baritone), and a songwriter and instrumentalist who absorbed influences that included his family’s Maritime heritage, Grand Ole Opry radio, Bob Dylan, the blues and his big broth- er Stan’s songs. He learned his trade working in harmony with Stan, as accompanist (guitars, fiddle, flute), producer and arranger.
