Semi-Final 1, 2022

Counterpoint Series 35
Episode 10 of 13

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the first semi-final of the challenging music quiz.

(10/13)
The music quiz tournament reaches the semi-final stage, with three of the competitors who won their heats vying for a place in the 2022 Final. As the competition goes up a notch, the players may find the questions getting tougher and they'll certainly find it harder to be first on the buzzer. As always they'll be asked to choose a special theme or musical topic on which to answer questions of their own, with no prior warning of the categories on offer.

Taking part today are
Andy Cormican from Sheffield
Damian Evans from West London
Frankie Fanko from Leicestershire

Producer: Paul Bajoria
Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
