The wide-ranging music quiz chaired by Paul Gambaccini.

Paul Gambaccini chairs the nationwide music quiz, with questions on music of all varieties and eras.

(4/13)
Three more contenders join Paul Gambaccini at London's Radio Theatre, for the quiz that tests knowledge of the full spectrum of musical styles and genres. How much will today's competitors know about Louis Armstrong and Rimsky-Korsakov, Fleetwood Mac and Bruckner? Part of their challenge will be to tackle questions on a specialist musical topic of which they've had no prior warning, and no chance to prepare. 

There are buried musical treasures and plenty of extracts to identify whatever your musical tastes.

Appearing in the quiz today are
Josh Cleary from London
Naadim Shamji from Sunbury-on-Thames 
Dave Workman from London.
