The quiz about music of all kinds, with Paul Gambaccini

Paul Gambaccini hosts the wide-ranging music quiz with contestants from around the UK

Another trio of music lovers joins Paul Gambaccini for the contest of musical knowledge, covering the widest possible range of styles and eras.

From the Woodstock Festival to the Salzburg Festival, from indie rock to great Baroque Mass settings - the questions test the competitors' knowledge in all areas. Sometimes they surprise themselves with things they didn't realise they knew - at other times they're frustrated at answers which are just out of reach. There's a rich spread of musical extracts to illustrate the questions, and something to suit every taste. The winner today will take another of the places in the semi-finals in the new year.

Today's competitors are
Peter Almond, a solicitor from Bristol
David Love, a semi-retired financial planner from Wombourne in Staffordshire
Alan Stromberg, a housemaster from North Norfolk.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
