Definitely one of you and Kev's finest moments. So resonant to anyone who knows Glasgow at all. Bravo guys, very special indeed

A top notch song from lyrics to music and vocals, and production. Upbeat melancholy. Well done to both of you.

wow, first time hearing your stuff, what am impressive production! powerful vocals and kind of reminiscent of Bowie at times. solid lyrics too. nice work man...

Amazing song, vocals, music, production.... And honestly up there with the best of Sylvian.

Also takes me back to my childhood 'playground' of derelict houses (though in Manchester not Glasgow)

Meet me on the corner
Of Renfield and of West Georges, lane I’m told,
Let us wander in the rain, on streets that glisten gold,
Talkin traffic, walking home


Meet me in the station
The sweetest sense of fuel, ignites the very soul,
The sound of engines,   People talking,
On the Square, where heads they once did roll.


City of dreams,
The likes of which you’ve never seen,
The curtain falls, our gift to all,
The people we have been,
Boarded windows, Empty houses,
Blackened buildings, broken homes


Meet me on the quayside,
that launched and hauled the earth across Pacific seas,
We’ll take a boat ride,  down the water
And gaze upon the firth, and on the Clyde.

The Blue Green Hollow

The Tempus Collective - The Blue Green Hollow

The Tempus Collective are : 
Kevin Fleming - writing, vocals & keys
Stewart Grieve (Solo Greebo) - writing, keys and production

The Tempus Collective are a duo hailing from Glasgow/Scotland, consisting of Kevin Fleming (vocals and keys) and Stewart Grieve (Keys, programming and production). The boys first met at school and have been playing together since 1983. They got their first 4-track a few years later and have continued to be bedroom music makers ever since, except for a 10 year recess to attend to family life.

Over the years there have been various musicians who have joined the ranks but it remains a two piece outfit for the moment with guest  musicians joining the band for selected projects as they are required.

Influenced by the likes of The Blue Nile, David Sylvian,Thomas Feiner and similar melancholic artists, the Tempus sound is usually a subdued affair that could never be considered mainstream.

"We spend a lot of time on production, we always have, it's about making the best of what you have at the time, both in ability  and equipment and as the years have gone on, both have improved vastly. We always felt that one good sounding song was worth 10 poor ones !  That's what we strive for, That's where we always channeled our energies and it still is to this day."

Using Soundcloud as their main platform to showcase their music the boys have accumulated a decent following and gained a lot of confidence from the warm reception they have received from fellow musicians and music lovers alike....
