Last winner:

The winner of the 'National Identity' quiz who will be getting a trio of brass band CDs was John Morgan — father of Daniel Morgan, the talented young principal euphonium the Marsden Band and latterly of the National Youth Band of Great Britain.

By a process of elimination he picked out the imposing architecture of the Grieghallen in Bergen — home of the Norwegian National Championships.

"I've been entering the 4BR competitions for ages — so I'm chuffed to have won the CDs at last. The building just didn't look like it would fit in at Cheltenham race course and was a bit too modern to be the Albert Hall!"
