I guess that's someone different. From the brand hot and newest version
of the FAQ (newer than the one posted a few days ago):     ;-)

     Delius:
        Frederick Delius is a classical composer who lived and worked ca. 50
        years ago. There's also a film about him and Eric Fenby ("in B,
        Fenby!") who worked for Delius by writing down the compositions for him
        (Delius was paralysed and couldn't do that by himself anymore).
        Excerpts from that film are shown during an interview of Eric Fenby,
        Kate Bush and Julian Lloyd-Webber in the Russel Harty Show. During
        that show the video to the song Delius was shown for the second time
        (the Dr. Hook special being the first time).

Bye,

Uli
