HUGH REED AND THE ELECTRIC SHADOWS
Following local TV appearances, his band The Velvet Underpants’ were invited by Deborah Harry of the band ‘Blondie’ to support her on 11 dates throughout Britain in the winter of 1993. This culminated in Hugh and Debs doing a live duet of Waiting for the Man, which can be watched on Youku. Deborah also faxed Lou to tell him about Hugh. Hugh was then signed to Edinburgh’s Eclectic label. The debut Album Take a Walk on the Clydeside was released receiving a lot of radio play not just in UK but also throughout, Europe, America and Canada.


Hugh describes himself as‘multi-talentless’ and is seen in a cameo role in the coolest film of the nineties Trainspotting - buying alcoholic drinks for a 14 year old girl he loses out to Renton, the main man, and gets his pint nicked in the process. Watch out for the dodgy-looking geyser with sideburns and a frilly shirt. More recently he appeared in the Jackie Chan movie ’12 Zodiacs’ as a butler and has also appeared on CCTV in many small acting roles. Clustercuss SOLO Cluster Cuss, a crazy indie-folk solo project by Reese, he plays different instruments at the same time, you will be amazed by the way he plays Ukulele.
