Just saw Ron Sexsmith tonight on a BBC recording of the Cambridge Folk Festival, and very good he was too, if that is the sort of thing you like.

Strange name however.

Blacksmith, whitesmith, tinsmith I am familiar with, but "Sexsmith" ?

Is this his real name, or has he followed in the long tradition of replacing the mundane with the striking ?
