Music Quiz - From an idea lifted from "Never Mind the Buzzcocks"

This is a quiz I wrote for use at work to raise money Children in Need. Several colleagues asked if they could have a copy as they wanted to use it themselves with various clubs / spouses workplaces etc. I enjoyed writing it and it seemed that people enjoyed doing it. It's a nice trip to re-visit some old songs that are rattling around in your brain whether you know it or not.

You're most likely to do well if you're not quite in the first flush of youth (!)

Copy and paste it into Word or something similar, amend as you wish and print it out. It neatly fills 2 sides of A4 with room to write the answers if you play around with formatting a bit.
