It’s been a big year for Fence Collective head honcho, King Creosote, and his pal Jon Hopkins.  They completed their collaborative album, Diamond Mine, which was released on Domino Records.  They went for a trip around America.  Oh yeah, and they were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. (And were robbed!)

Now they’re off on tour again, around the UK … and it looks like this’ll be the last time they are touring as “King Creosote & Jon Hopkins” for a bit, as they are both gonna concentrate on solo ventures in 2012.  As a goodbye treat, they’ve got a new single coming out – ‘John Taylor’s Month Away’ – which is backed by a new version of the KC classic, ‘Missionary’.

Support on the tour comes from our very own Withered Hand!  (except in Glasgow … where it comes from fellow Fencer François & The Atlas Mountains!)
