The quiz about every aspect of music, with Paul Gambaccini.

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the challenging music quiz, with competitors this week from North Lincolnshire, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes.

(6/13)
The three music lovers facing Paul Gambaccini's questions will, as always, have to demonstrate the breadth of their musical knowledge if they're to stand a chance of winning a place in the semi-finals this year - and perhaps go on to take the 35th annual Counterpoint champion's title in the spring. Questions today come thick and fast on everything from Elgar to U2, and all musical points in between. 
 
The competitors also have to choose a category on which to answer their own set of questions for which they've had no warning and no time to prepare. Will they choose to answer on Quincy Jones, classical brass, or perhaps take a chance on Abba?

Appearing this week are
Tim Davies from North Lincolnshire
Liz Langley from High Wycombe
Rebecca Pasha from North Buckinghamshire
