  • Summary

  • Beloved Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, old pal of the pod, is touring the UK in November, two of the nights at the Palladium, and looks back here at the first shows he saw and played himself. Which delights include …

    … what you learn playing Canadian bars aged 16.

    … seeing Elton John in a 75,000-seater stadium when he was 12.

    … early memories of the Kinks and the Who.

    … why every gig is “a mini-battle”.

    … Bob Dylan’s courage to do what the crowd don’t expect.

    … original fans in middle-age: they’re back and they bring their kids!

    … why a support tour with Robyn Hitchcock took him in a new direction.

    … exotic wild ‘critters’ in his yard in Ontario.

    … and how the UK launched his international career.
