Episode 10 of 13

Paul Gambaccini hosts the general knowledge music quiz, with contestants from all over the UK competing to become Radio 4's musical mastermind for 2019.

(10/13)
The Counterpoint Semi-Finals for 2019 are under way, with the nine heat winners across this series returning to compete for places in the Final. Can you remember the name of the colourful starring soprano at the Last Night of the Proms this year? Or who won the 2019 Mercury Music Prize? If our competitors can't, the Final may be slipping from their grasp.

Back to compete today are:
Nick Reed, a local government clerk from Masham in North Yorkshire
Stephen Smith, a psychologist from Eastleigh in Hampshire
Greg Spiller, a retired software engineer from Stockport.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
