Counterpoint Series 35
Episode 7 of 13

Three more music lovers join Paul Gambaccini for the eclectic music quiz. This week's contenders come from Cheltenham, Loughborough and the Wirral.

(7/13)
Another trio of music lovers compete for a place in the semi-finals next month, each hoping the breadth of their musical knowledge will give them the edge. Will they be able to tell their Prokofiev from their Shostakovich? How well do they know their Rolling Stones and Deep Purple collections? Will they be tempted by specialist rounds on music associated with sci-fi, politics or football?

Paul Gambaccini asks the questions, in a contest recorded at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Salford studios with just a small socially-distanced audience of invited guests, to ensure Covid safety.

Appearing today are
Richard Ashworth from Cheltenham
Sue Bates from Leicestershire
Neil Wright from the Wirral.

Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner
Producer: Paul Bajoria
