(Redirected from Paul Fisher)
Ivor Fisher (1939-2014) was a Hamilton rock 'n' roll, rockabilly and pop artist popular from the late 1950s through to 1970. He also released a number of singles as the lead singer of The Satellites through the early 1960s. While his early singles were under the name Ivor Fisher, for his singles from 1967 he went under the name Paul Fisher, following a move to Sydney. In Australia he played at RSL clubs, night clubs and league clubs, as well as making television appearances, including the show 'Bandstand'. He returned to Hamilton in early 1970. At this time he signed to HMV, but only one release eventuated from this deal.
