Fredu Grima d-Dimonju,
also known as Tal-Marsa is an improvised verse folk singer. Born on the 16th April 1950, he grew up close to the Trinita' neighbourhood and moved to the Marija Reġina area in Marsa. He was ironically born in Stable Alley, Marsa on the upper storey of a folk singing wine outlet ran by Karmni ta' Wistin. His nickname Id-Dimonju, lit. the demon, was given since he used to swore Ħaqq id-Dimonju, 'that blasted demon' and the expression stuck.
He is also into horseracing, owning a racehorse which runs at the Marsa racegrounds.
