BBC Radio 4 - Counterpoint, Series 28, Semi-Final 1, 2014

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

Paul Gambaccini returns to the chair, with the first of the semi-finals in the 2014 season of the wide-ranging music quiz.

(10/13)
Paul Gambaccini is back in the questionmaster's chair as the 2014 season of the annual music quiz reaches the semi-final stage. Three heats winners from earlier in the series return to compete for a coveted place in the Counterpoint Final. 

The competition may get stiffer but the rules don't change: and each of the semi-finalists will have to choose a special musical topic on which to answer individual questions, with no prior warning of what the subjects are going to be. 

This week's contestants are from the London area and from Derbyshire.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
