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

(10/13)
Paul Gambaccini is at the BBC's historic Maida Vale studios to welcome back the first three of this season's heats winners, ready to face the challenge of the UK's widest-ranging musical quiz. 

This week the semi-finalists hail from London and Leicestershire. They've already proved the breadth of their musical knowledge by coming unscathed through the heats. Now a place in the 2015 Final awaits today's winner.

As usual, they'll have to answer questions and identify musical extracts ranging across all styles and eras - from Verdi and Brahms to Prince - and beat their opponents to the buzzer if they're going to gain the vital edge in what promises to be a close contest.

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.

Paul Gambaccini hosts the general knowledge music quiz.
