They'll face Paul's questions on all genres of music, from the classical repertoire to jazz, Broadway musicals, novelty songs, Christmas music and rock and pop of all eras. They'll also each have to pick a special category on which to answer a set of questions, with no prior warning of the choices on offer.

Appearing today are:
Paddy Baker from Brighton
Nathan Hamer from West Sussex
Liz Tray from North London.

The winner will go forward to the semi-finals in the new year.
