Pub Quiz

Welcome to the first Strangetown Pub Quiz. We have some very special prizes that money just can buy!

Due to the fact that we had to cancel the gig at the Lamp Tavern, Dudley on the 6th March 2004 we've decided to extend the deadline on the quiz to 30th June 2004. The reason being we're aiming to record our first CD by then, and the (cough...) lucky winner will recieve a free copy...

The winner is the first person to get all the answers correct. If no one gets all the answers right, the winner will be the person who got most questions right by the closing date. The prize will be kept on the door of our gigs, just say your name when you enter and you'll get your CD. Alternatively, if you give us your address when you send your answers in, we can post the CD to you...

I hope you're all sitting comfortably and your pencils are sharp. Here we go.....
