Comment:

Ive been meaning to do this for a while now and I finally got my act together today. In a tiny fishing village on the Scottish coast there lives a man called Kenny Anderson aka King Creosote who founded a little record label called Fence to release his friends, brothers, sisters and his own records. This compilation concentrates on the mini scene that the label gave birth to rather than with the Fence catalogue itself. A few artists here have not recorded for Fence but are involved at live shows and share the D.I.Y ethic that gives these artists their vibrancy. This article is a great insight into the life of the Fence Collective and describes it much better than I could. This is a continuous mix of just over 64 minutes of sometimes rough, sometimes lush folk, pop and understated electronica. Edit - Thanks Valis for giving the weekly honours to this modest effort and thanks to everyone else for taking the time to listen. Ive refreshed the link should anyone else want to listen. Enjoy...

The first Lone Pigeon album is one of my favorite of all time . . . it just reminds me so much of the Beatles White Album . . . . what a great concept mix. Excellent.

This is brilliant, Barry! And I'm really impressed at your resources because it's not always easy to come by this stuff. Really looking forward to hearing this and love the Beta Band and JY & the Athletes choices especially. Well done.
Incidentally, just looking at the picture...if I'm not mistaken, that pub looks a lot like Aikman's (best beer & live music in St Andrews) - sadly never saw any of the FC while I was there although I know they did play around the town 'cause Anstruther is fairly nearby. My boyfriend used to live right above the place though so you never actually had to go in to hear any live stuff! :)

Well I know the illustrious Royal Creosote, and the Beta Band; the rest of the fencer collective is a mystery. But I will take Mr. Dali's word for it any day.

A most admirable undertaking, Barry. You may now add philanthropy to your burgeoning plus column. I will click and expand the proverbials.Incidentally, I loved your "Brit-Boy Rock" reference in your comment on my recent mix -- laughed out loud and made disturbing pig-like noises. It was foolish of me to think I might sneak James Blunt past your eagle gaze. I know I'm always saying this, but I believe, in your case, it's always warranted, so I'll say it again -- thank you, Barry.

saved this one a few days ago, finally able to listen while working today. and whaddayaknow! it's been made Mix of the Week! I've got a ridiculous amount of favorites; tracks 2 & 7 are so beautiful. also loved Lone Pigeon, Amino People, Gummi Bako & Daydream Daisy, Northern Alliance, PuMaJaW... and the whole office stood still when the Beta Band began to play.
