Episode 3 of 13

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions in the third heat of the general knowledge music quiz, from Media City in Salford.

(3/13)
Which record label took its name from the red light district of New Orleans? And Pierre Monteux was the conductor at which notorious orchestral premiere of 1913?

Another trio of music lovers face Paul Gambaccini's questions in the third heat of the eclectic music quiz. This week the programme comes from Media City in Salford and the contestants all hail from the north of England.

As always, they'll also have to pick a special musical category on which to answer a round of individual questions - with no warning of what the topics are.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
