I follow the old fellows from the Middle East (6)
I believe the answer is:
yemeni
'from the middle east' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'i follow the old fellows' is the wordplay.
'follow' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the old' becomes 'ye' (resembles a historical spelling of 'the').
'fellows' becomes 'men' (fellow can mean a man).
'ye'+'men'='yemen'
'i' put after 'yemen' is 'YEMENI'.
(Other definitions for yemeni that I've seen before include "ME citizen" , "Middle Easterner" , "Arab national" , "Someone from Aden?" , "language" .)
