3. Correct, 2pts for naming both
4. Correct, 1pt for Keith Gemmill. I went to see Audience last year at the Boom-boom club in Sutton and Gemmill was brilliant.
5. Correct, 1pt
6. Yes, they're all Colemanators ! ;D 2.5pts (0.5 deducted as Coleman is the Christian name of Mr Hawkins not his surname !)
7. and 8. both correct, 1pt for each.

I make that end of quiz with the following result :

1. H & J 12.5pts
2. tommo -0.5pt
