Any relation to Hugh Reed and the Velvet Underpants, Glasgow band from the late 80's? Can't remember much about them, used to get a lot of play on Beat Patrol, etc though...

why the hell do you want to know?

they have no relationship with Hugh Reed that would be polite to speak of.

Hi there, just to let you know, that "Hugh Reed and the Velvet Underpants" were in no way connected to the Wolverhampton wankers who stole our name - what was particularly annoying was the fact that they were Racists, to check out the real Pants go to www.reedh.fsnet.co.uk Yours Hugh Reed

Yeah, anyone who knows anything and could put me in contact with someone who knows anybody who can get me a copy of their tapes would be a lifesaver as I've been looking for years. I did have a copy of "Gates of Dawn" (I adored 'She Was My Bird', 'Corpse Shagger' and 'Wanker in Disguise') which I bought at a gig but like a nob I lent it someone and never saw it again. Pillock. Help me someone, pleeeeeese! And, er, racists? How exactly? I heard Hugh Read and the Velvet Underpants once and they were, indeed, pants.

two weeks pass...

The last time I saw the Velvet underpants they were supported by the legendary band "The Genital Fungi" at a pub in King's heath that is now shut down. They were comedy geniuses. And the velvet underpants were pretty good too.

Hey, I remember seeing 'The Genital Fungi' as well. They were f*****g great. Anyone know what happened to them?

they WERE ABSOLUTELY NOT RACISTS. that's pure libel.

they were a very funny act. made me laugh a lot. Hugh Reed is obviously an idiot.

Sorry, a bit of topic ... it's just that i'm getting all nostalgic for the Acock's Green Scene ...

*sigh*
