Semi-final 1, 2025
Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for the first semi-final in the 2025 season of the ultimate music quiz.
(10/13)
The first trio of heat winners take their place for the first of this year's semi-finals, with Paul Gambaccini putting them through their paces on a wide range of musical topics. Will they know which city provides the nickname of Shostakovich's seventh symphony, which Marvin Gaye song Jack Black sang in the film 'High Fidelity', or the original performer of 'Tainted Love'?
They will also be asked to choose a musical 'special subject' on which to answer individual questions, without any prior warning of what categories are going to be offered.
Appearing in today's contest are:
Gareth Aubrey from Beddau in South Wales
Jonathan Brick from Watford
Antony Cruddas from Gosport.
