Heat 6

Counterpoint Series 34
Episode 6 of 13

In the contest of eclectic musical knowledge, Paul Gambaccini welcomes contestants from Cheshire, the Wirral and Gloucestershire, all taking part in the quiz remotely this week.

(6/13)
Joining Paul Gambaccini for the wide-ranging music quiz are competitors from around the UK, hoping their knowledge across all genres of music will carry them through to the series semi-finals coming up next month. The musical extracts that await them include Mozart, Marvin Gaye, Elvis Presley and Wagner. And will anyone choose the specialist round on 80s Power Ballads?

The competitors today are
Eugene Gallagher, an IT analyst from Cheshire
Helen Shrimpton, a pensions administrator from the Wirral
Donna Whitehouse, an account business manager from Gloucestershire.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
