As a test I just looked, 25 contestants from Love Island have a wikipedia page. Fred Dellar doesnt. Edited May 16, 2021 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I could not name a single person who has been on Love Island, not one.

Neither have I the smallest clue who Fred Feller is either though. Dellar. He had long links to music magazines and has written a number of music books. He wrote for the NME for a long time and as well as their cross word compiler he had an ask fred column. He was known for his encyclopaedic knowledge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 For me growing up and reading the NME cover to cover, Fred Dellar was, at least in my world, famous. I believe he went on to Mojo magazine, and wrote many books, as well as some liner notes. In the mid 90s on the Ask Fred page of the NME he answered my question on what had happened to Billy Bragg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Just seen a recent episode of 8/10 cats does countdown with Sean Lock in it. Poor bloke looks completely different. I’m not convinced he will see through 2021 based on that but I hope I’m wrong. I know he had a scare a few years back with his throat but thought he was passed that, but he looks worryingly thin I also thought Henning Wehn was looking a bit skeletal recently as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
