Paul Gambaccini chairs the wide-ranging music quiz

Three more semi-finalists join Paul Gambaccini for the wide-ranging quiz on music of all kinds

(11/13)
The second semi-final in the 37th season of Counterpoint comes from the BBC's Salford studios, with another three heat winners from recent weeks playing off for a place in the Final.

Taking part today are
Steve Draper from Liverpool;
Annie Hodkinson from Kingswinford in the West Midlands;
Caroline Mckay from Frodsham in Cheshire.

As well as showing their musical general knowledge, they'll have to opt for a special musical topic on which to answer individual questions, with no warning of the categories they'll be offered. How will they fare on the music of the Carpenters? Might they prefer to answer on Puccini? And what if their favourite is taken by a rival before they get their chance?
