4BR Quiz: Which Swan?

We have another little weekend brain tickler if you want to get your hands on some great brass band CDs.

Swan Lake
 

Our little weekend brain teaser this time has links of sorts to the British Open test piece 'Reflections on Swan Lake'...

The Question:

All you have to do is tell us which name links a leading character from the Swan Lake ballet, a fictitious rural Yorkshire vet and a First World War German defensive line that British soldiers boasted they could hang their washing from?

a) Vesta
b) Siegfried
c) Beckenbauer

Which name links a leading character from the Swan Lake ballet, a fictitious rural Yorkshire vet and a First World War German defensive line that British soldiers boasted they could hang their washing from?4BR

Answers:

E-mail us the answer before midday on Sunday 30th August with your contact telephone details at: quiz@4barsrest.com

Last winner:

The winner of the 'Musial Chair' quiz who knew it was Roger Webster who will be filling it Grimethorpe Colliery Band, was Anne Leveridge from Cringleford near Norwich.

Anne plays tenor horn with Norfolk Wherry Brass and is soon to start her music degree studies at Ruskin College Cambridge — so she shouldn't have a problem with this weekend's quiz either then…
