Hugh Reed and The Velvet Underpants

Hugh Reed and the Velvet Underpants are a cult Glasgow based band who have supported Debbie Harry, Simple Minds, the Fall and John Otway. The Velvet Underpants was particularly noted for its highly theatrical presentation and “witty” use of puns, titles “Take a Walk on the Clydeside” and “Smells Like Troon Harbour” being examples, and also, of course, the name of the band.
