Heat 6, 2016
The wide-ranging music quiz this week comes from Salford, with Paul Gambaccini in the questionmaster's chair.
(6/13)
Competitors from Worcestershire, Merseyside and North Wales join Paul Gambaccini for another tough contest of musical knowledge. Extracts from Mahler, Verdi and David Bowie are just some of the clips on which they'll be asked questions this week. As always, they'll have to choose a musical topic on which to answer individual specialist questions, without any forewarning of the subject categories. The winner will take another of the places in the semi-finals later this summer.
Producer: Paul Bajoria.
