4BR Quiz: Trophy time

Another little tester from 4BR to solve to get your hands on a trio of brass bands CDs...

Trophy
 

As we head towards the second half of the contest season and all the various National Championships around Europe we thought we had better test your trophy knowledge.

All you have to do is let us know which National Championship presents this wonderful (if ever so slightly weird) trophy to its winning band — perhaps inspired by Dadist conceptual artist Marcel Duchamp.

a) England
b) Norway
c) France

The winner picked out of the electronic hat by Tuesday lunchtime will get a nice trio of brass band CDs sent to them...

Answers:

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

Last winner:

The winner of the 'Guess the Identity' quiz on the weekend was Ian Bennett of Hornchurch in Essex — who knew it was Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

As he told 4BR: "It could only have been Grimethorpe — the miner's pick axe was the giveaway!"

Spot on for the former Aveley & Newham horn player — although not everyone who entered quite spotted the clue!
