This is a busy time of year for Fence Records on the approach to their annual Homegame Festival which takes place over over the 17th, 18th and 19th of April 2009. This well known but intimate event takes place in their hometown of Anstruther in Fife. You can expect to see the Collective artists as well as up-and-coming Scottish and UK acts as well as some special guests. The festival takes place over various halls in Anstruther. They are selling the most tickets ever this year, 700, to be precise, so don’t hang around.
