In 1986, Scotsman Donnie Macdonald and Irishman James Keigher came together to perform Irish and Scottish folk music, combining traditional and contemporary styles. The name Men of Worth was chosen from the title of a folk song written by the Scottish singer-songwriter Archie Fisher. Together, Men of Worth blend their voices with harmony and support their collection of songs with their varied selection of instruments. They have a very simple approach to their presentation, and in keeping with tradition, remain true to the music and the story. Their show is a unique combination of humor, exciting tunes, and soulful, heartfelt ballads. Men of Worth are an international act, and have earned much respect and success in over thirty years of touring together. Performing concerts and festivals, with twelve albums to their credit, Men of Worth continue the very tradition from which they have evolved. Men of Worth on Facebook
