Weekend Quiz: Sponsored by Geneva Instruments

You need to know about mutineers, old prison lags and historic doubles to win our latest quiz...

4BR
 

We have a little bit of a brain teaser to solve if you want to get your hands on some great CDs…

4BR and our friends at Geneva Musical Instruments bring you another chance to win some of the latest CD releases — including ‘Vita Destructa’ from Brighouse & Rastrick, ‘By Request Vol 2' by Grimethorpe and ‘Flight’ by star flugel player Sebastien Rousseau.

Great response

After the amazing response to our National Finals competition we thought we would make this one a little harder to work out — although it does have a bit of a historic ‘Double’ connection.

Question:

What name links an infamous mutinous seafaring officer, a wise-cracking inmate of the fictional Slade prison and a test piece that Black Dyke won the first part of their 1976 ‘Double’ on?
