Episode 6
Russell Davies asks questions on a wide range of musical genres in the latest heat of the music quiz.
(6/13)
Russell Davies chairs the sixth heat in the 2014 season of the most wide-ranging music quiz anywhere on radio, this week from the 成人论坛's Maida Vale studios in London. Competitors from Twickenham, the Vale of Glamorgan and Brighton answer questions on everything from orchestral music and opera to film and stage musicals, folk and jazz, classic rock and sixty years of the pop charts.
As always, as well as demonstrating their musical general knowledge, they'll be asked to pick a specialist musical topic, from a list of which they've had no prior warning and no chance to prepare.
The winner will take another of the places in the series semi-finals towards the end of the year.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
