Paul Gambaccini is in the chair for the ultimate music quiz, as another trio of semi-finalists aims for a place in the 2025 Final

(11/13)
The second semi-final in the 2025 series comes from Media City UK in Salford, with another three winners from the heats stage playing for a place in the Final. The competition hots up and the questions may well get tougher.

The competitors are:
Diane Hallagan, from Leeds
Mohan Mudigonda, from Wolverhampton
Sarah Trevarthen, from Manchester.
