Which British political scandal is the subject of a musical Andrew Lloyd Webber is currently writing? Which jazz pianist, who worked closely with Louis Armstrong, was known by the nickname 'Fatha'?

The 2013 Counterpoint tournament reaches the semi-final stage, with three contestants who've proved the breadth of their musical knowledge in the heats returning to compete for a place in the Final.

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair and will be testing the competitors on all aspects of music - whether it be the classics, jazz, musical theatre or the pop charts, there's something to suit every taste in today's programme.

The contestants are from Hove, Bristol and Newcastle.
