THE FENCE COLLECTIVE

Based in Fife, The Fence Collective is a loose-knit amalgam of singer-songwriters, bands and electronic artists who collaborate with one another on record, as well as on stage. Although their music isn’t always strictly ‘folk’ in the traditional sense, the Collective’s tendency to hand-down and share songs with one another is very much in the folk spirit. Three members of the Collective; James Yorkston, The Pictish Trail (the nom de plume of singer-songwriter Johnny Lynch, who – alongside Kenny Anderson, aka King Creosote – runs Fence Records) and Seamus Fogarty will be on stage, sharing songs, a laugh and some blether.
