I think I'm right in saying (and I'm sure I'll be shot down in true Mudcat style if I'm not) that the guitarist on the original Rambling Syd 'Round The Horne' recordings was none other than Bert Weedon of 'Play With Yourself In a Day' fame.
Rambling Syd is a folk icon and anyone who disagrees is 'irony impaired', to use a phrase coined in another thread.
