Along with Special Guests the marvellously entertaining HUGH REED & THE VELVET UNDERPANTS For anyone who hasn’t seen the band before, their show is like no other gig you’ve ever been to. This isn’t just a band of five guys plying their trade from the stage. Oh no. A Hugh Reed gig is full on panto cabaret, with more costume changes than Beyonce and Michael Jackson put together. Change outfits between songs? Pah! Hugh does several costume changes WITHIN one song – the classic Six to Wan including football fan, polis man, judge, prisoner…. A Hugh Reed gig is a fully immersive interactive experience, if you don’t want to be involved – stand far back. 

Opening this exceptionally talented all Scottish bill are THOSE THIEVING MEN who describe themselves as ‘No Nonsense, Old Skool Punk!’ - Nuff Said!
