2013 Heat 9

Episode 9 of 13

Paul Gambaccini chairs the wide-ranging music quiz with contestants from Liverpool, Newcastle and Staffordshire. From 2013.

Paul Gambaccini chairs the general knowledge music quiz.

Which other female recording artist apart from Adele has won six Grammy awards in a single ceremony? And which controversial classical pianist was the subject of a TV drama featuring Victoria Wood?

These and other questions will be testing the mettle of today's contestants - and they'll also have to pick a specialist musical topic to answer individual questions on, with no advance warning of what the choice of topics will be.

As always, Paul will be serving the musical extracts and anecdotes to entertain - whatever your musical tastes

A trio of competitors are battling it out at the 成人论坛 Philharmonic studio at Media City in Salford:

* David Love from Wombourne in Staffordshire
* Tony Quinn from Liverpool
* Peter Strange from Newcastle Upon Tyne

Producer: Paul Bajoria

First broadcast on 成人论坛 Radio 4 in July 2013.
