There is a prolific clematis (variety Apple Blossom I believe) which is evergreen and will cover the fencing very quickly.

Clematis armandii is evergreen and grows superfast once it gets going. Very attractive evergreen foliage and cascades of sweetly scented white blossom in very early spring.

Clematis armandii would need a warm position, especially in the north

Ivy's the only one that springs to mind, but would it not be better to plant an evergreen hedge using something like Photinia fraserii or Pyracantha (though this is prickly and not quite so fast growing). Bear in mind that anything which grows faster than the plants I've mentioned (like Leylandii) will rapidly get far too big and you'll need a machete to fight your way out.
