Paul Gambaccini chairs the wide-ranging music quiz.

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the last of the 2018 semi-finals of the wide-ranging music quiz, from Salford.

(12/13)
The last of this year's semi-finalists line up to compete for the sole remaining place in the 32nd Counterpoint Final. This week's contest comes from Salford and the competitors will be answering questions on musical clips ranging from Purcell and Rimsky-Korsakov through to Lerner & Loewe and David Byrne.

As always, they'll have the chance to choose a musical topic in which to specialise as part of the contest - but with no prior warning of the topics on offer, and no chance to prepare, it can often be a risky choice.

The semi-finalists today are:
Bill Cawley, a supermarket checkout operator from Leek in Staffordshire
Charles Dusting, a retired accountant from Worcester
Alan Harrison, a retired metallurgist from Sheffield.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
