(6/13)
Three music lovers from northern England and the Midlands join Paul Gambaccini for the much-loved music quiz, from the BBC's Salford studios.

The quiz tests the range and variety of their musical knowledge, and there are extracts to identify from musical works of all genres. They may struggle if they don't know their Vivaldi from their Handel, their Benny Goodman from their Count Basie or their Suede from their Pulp. As usual they'll be asked to pick a special topic on which they'll face an individual set of questions - with no prior warning of the choices available, and no time to prepare.

Appearing today are:
Judith Bradley from Newton-le-Willows
Carolyn Evans from Bromsgrove
Sally Wilson from Sale.

The winner will be back for the semi-finals of this year's Counterpoint tournament, which begin in a few weeks' time.
