Band of forgers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smiths

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'band' is the first definition.
(80's band The Smiths)

'forgers' is the second definition.
(blacksmiths, people who forge)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for smiths that I've seen before include "They make things in metal - horseshoes?" , "We forge" , "Workers in metal" , "common names" , "They make things in metal, may be black" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
