There’s another great prize to be won with our quiz sponsored this week by Dawsons Music.

Once again there is a great prize from 4BR this week from our friends at Dawsons — as long as you can get your thinking caps on?

Keyboard, DVD & CD

We have a great Casio CTK-230 electronic keyboard, plus the brand new David Childs ‘A Masterclass in Brass’ DVD and Foden’s new CD ‘Patron’s Choice VI’, which includes their live performances from the British Open and National Finals.

Rugby King

With one particular ‘King’ recently leading Eikanger Bjorsvik to victory at the Norwegian National Championships for a record ninth time, and with the Six Nations in full flight in the UK – we thought we had better try and combine the two.

Which famous Welsh outside-half was simply known as ‘The King’?

A: John Barry
B: Barry Island
C: Barry John

Which famous Welsh outside-half was simply known as ‘The King’?4BR

Clues:

He was anointed as ‘The King’ after becoming the star player on the famous 1971 British Lions tour to New Zealand and retired aged just 27.

His equally famous scrum-half partner once played cornet in the Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen Band

Closing date:

All answers for this one must be in by midnight on Tuesday 26th February.

Last Winner:

We had a great response to last week’s quiz, with Michael Evans of Crook in County Durham knowing that St Cecilia was the Patron Saint of Musicians.

He wins a box of 9 bottles of fantastic ‘Blue Juice’ valve oil, a cracking youth band arrangement of ‘Waltzing Matilda’, the Black Dyke DVD ‘A History of Brass Bands’ and a trio of CDs from Foden’s, Steven Mead and the Royal Scottish Academy Brass.
