Musically & Lyrically. The two worked together again in 2014 when Archer played guitar on Bugg's Messed Up Kids EP on "The Odds" alongside drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Archer's career in songwriting continued to see many achievements, working alongside James Bay in 2015, co-writing three tracks on his No.1 album Chaos and the Calm, including “Best Fake Smile”, “Craving” and “Hold Back the River” which won the Ivor Novello award for Most Performed Work in 2016, and received a Grammy nomination. In 2017, Archer produced and co-wrote with Liam Gallagher on his No. 1 solo album As You Were and later with Niall Horan (One Direction) on his debut solo album Flicker, co-writing on “Paper Houses”, which hit No. 1 in the United States. In 2018, Archer worked with Isaac Gracie, writing and producing on his track “Show Me Love” and then with Lisa Hannigan, co-writing on her track “Undertow”, which was produced by Aaron Dessner. In 2019, Archer returned to performing with Snow Patrol, standing in for Nathan Connolly due to a severe hand injury. Although much of Archer’s career has seen success through songwriting and production, his work over the years has branched into broader areas as well. In 2010, he created the soundtrack for the film America's Wildest Refuge: Discovering the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He has also shared his expertise in music and songwriting as a visiting professor at Leeds College of Music in 2016 and as a mentor to students at Queen’s University Belfast from 2018-2019 as part of the Seamus Heaney Centre fellows. Additionally, as Archer has received his own Ivor Novello Awards over the years, he is currently a member of The Ivors Academy Songwriter Committee. Archer is married to singer Miriam Kaufmann.
