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

(11/13)
Three more music lovers who have won their heats earlier in the series join Paul Gambaccini for the second semi-final, from London's historic Maida Vale studios.

Paul's questions range across every style of music, from Bruckner to the Beatles, Billie Holiday and Mel Brooks. With the competition tougher than ever at the semi-final stage, the breadth of the competitors' knowledge is really put to the test. As well as answering general knowledge questions on music they'll also have to 'specialise' in a category chosen from a list of which they've had no warning whatsoever.

The winner takes another of the places in the 2015 Final. Might this year's champion be among today's contenders?

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.
