About Me


WAY DOWN IN RICHMOND TOWN VIDEO ^

Glasgow group 'THE TEMPUS FUGITIVES' are a mixture of North American song-driven country folk-rock and danceable rhythm and blues. The lyrics are sung in various sometimes Americanised incarnations of the English language, with an occasional Gaelic phrasing or two and reflect a deep love of SCOTLAND amongst other philosophical curiosities.

A short record, consisting of the tracks:

'WAY DOWN IN RICHMOND TOWN'
'ELLA GONE-WRONG' and
'BUCKLE MY SHOE'

can be heard above....
