CARTHAGE — Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center will welcome master guitarist and legendary Scottish folk singer-songwriter Archie Fisher on Monday, Feb. 15.

Host of BBC Radio Scotland’s award-winning “Traveling Folk” program for more than 25 years, Fisher is Scotland’s foremost troubadour.

Recognized for his contributions to Scottish folk music, he was inducted into the Scots Traditional Music Hall of Fame and was awarded an MBE (Distinguished Member of the British Empire), a prestigious honor nominated by his peers and bestowed by Queen Elizabeth for services to traditional music.

Born in Glasgow into a large singing family, Fisher was influenced by his father’s appreciation of many musical styles (opera, vaudeville, traditional ballads); and his mother, a native Gaelic speaker from the Outer Hebrides, was a strong influence on the lyrical quality of his singing and songwriting.

During the British TV folk boom of the 1960s and ’70s, Fisher appeared regularly with his younger sister, Ray, in magazine programs and the BBC Hootenanny series.

In the mid 1970s, he formed a long-term partnership with Dundee musician Allan Barty, which was later grafted on to the revived pairing of Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy. He performed as back-up musician and arranger for the Makem and Clancy duo and produced a series of albums with them.

In the 1980s, Fisher did freelance radio work and originated several series of documentary programs with his local station Radio Tweed. He then returned to the recording studio and began a partnership with Canadian songwriter Garnet Rogers. They toured throughout North America and Garnet produced several of Fisher’s albums, including his highly acclaimed “Sunsets I’ve Galloped Into” in 1996.

Fisher later toured throughout North America, playing with John Renbourn and Bert Jansch. His “Windward Away” release in 2008 achieved widespread acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.

The concert presented by New England Celtic Arts will begin at 7 p.m. A preshow jam will begin at 6:15. Skye Theater is at 2 Highland Drive off Winter Hill Road and U.S. Route 2. Tickets are $10 at the door. Call 562-4445.
