Scottish folk singer Archie Fisher, yesterday at 85 yrs

[Will S]

Sad - a good writer and singer too

[David V B]

And a very nice man. I met him at Lytham Folk Club in the early seventies and he was very generous talking to this gauche teenager.

There was a nice tribute to him by Eliza Carthy on FB yesterday

Sad news. The Railway Folk Club in Portsmouth, which sadly closed in 2003, hosted Archie for their very last gig - an excellent evening of music from a true gentleman of the genre. I remember him playing his own versions of The Wounded Whale and Dark Eyed Molly, as covered by FC.

Squeeze and Jools Holland drummer Gilson Lavis. Loved his playing. Think he had been ill

I saw Jools a couple of times in the 80s before he formed his Big Band when it was a trio of himself, Gilson and a bass player. Sad news. He was a fine drummer.
