Pete has signed up for a crazy stunt.  He’s off to trek for ten days in the remote, high-altitude Lares region of the Peruvian Andes to raise money for Alzheimer’s Scotland.

60 Watt Head of Thinking, Mark Gorman (a.k.a. part time Jubilee FM deejay, the Nightfly) has offered to help by putting together what has all the makings of a fab night oot.  A challenging, but fun, music quiz guaranteed to bring out the competitive beast in all you music lovers. 

Skating effortlessly and randomly through the musical decades, Mr G has created two rounds of testing questions about our common musical heritage.  Enough to keep you gainfully occupied for a whole evening.

So if you think you know your Ash from your Elbow and don’t quaver at the minim entry fee of £40 for a team of 4 (enough, already -Ed) here’s your chance to have a crack at winning the inaugural Alzheimer’s Scotland Music Quiz Trophy.  As well as, of course, having a right good night out and raising some money for an extremely worthwhile cause.

You need a team of four to enter the quiz – the best combination of music brains you can find – and the entry fee is £40 per team, which includes your first drink and a finger buffet – courtesy of Le March Francais – in the interval.  As you’d expect at a musical event, there will be a bar (groan- Ed) with a choice of fine beers and wines available all night at sub bar prices PLUS a trophy for the winning team and best team name. 

Hudson have kindly sponsored the event and are letting us use their fab new Edinburgh offices as the venue.
