The general knowledge music quiz chaired by Paul Gambaccini.

Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for a festive edition of the challenging music quiz with music-lovers from around the UK.

(3/13)
Whether it's Duke Ellington playing Jingle Bells, or Boney M with Mary's Boy Child, the competitors in this week's edition of the quiz can count on there being a Christmas flavour to the clips and questions. Paul Gambaccini hosts the wide-ranging music contest from London's Radio Theatre. 

Taking part are:
Farrar Hornby from London
Vicky Johnson from Nottingham
Karen Rasmussen from London

They'll have to show the breadth of their knowledge of music, as well as choosing a special topic on which to answer their own individual questions in the second round, with no prior warning of what the categories are going to be. The questions cover all genres and eras, and the competitors can't always count on being in their comfort zone.
