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

CDs

4BR and our friends at Geneva Musical Instruments bring you another chance to win some of the latest CD releases — including the 2014 European Championships, 2015 Regional Championships and Eikanger’s music of John Pickard.

Great response

Last week’s quiz tested quite a few minds – although those who regularly watch UK Gold television repeats of classic 1970’s sit-coms had no problems…

It was the name Fletcher that linked an infamous mutinous seafaring officer (Fletcher Christian), a wise-cracking inmate of the fictional Slade prison (Norman Stanley Fletcher) and a test piece that Black Dyke won the first part of their 1976 ‘Double’ on (‘Epic Symphony’ by Percy Fletcher)

Well done to Gareth Roberts of Bournemouth who was first out of the hat, who won a great trio of CDs.

This weekend’s question:

What name links a brass band conducting giant of the late 19th century, a First World War poet killed in action on November 4th 1918, and a former Liverpool footballer who scored 118 goals in 216 appearances for the Anfield club?
