Paul Gambaccini chairs the second semi-final of the general knowledge music quiz.

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for the second semi-final of the general knowledge music quiz.

(11/13) 
Paul Gambaccini hosts the second semi-final of the wide-ranging music quiz, with three more competitors who've come through the heats stage and now stand a chance of gaining a place in the Final at the end of July.

This week's semi-finalists are from London, Glasgow and Cardiff, and they'll face questions on the widest possible range of musical styles and performers. From operas based on Classical mythology, to the movie themes of Bernard Herrmann - and plenty of points in between. 

There are musical extracts to identify, some familiar, some surprising - and no shortage of anecdotes, as Paul Gambaccini welcomes a lively audience to the BBC Radio Theatre in London. 

Producer: Paul Bajoria.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
