About this Event
Do you know your REM from your LCD?
Do you know who’s who in The Who?
Have guilty feet got no rhythm?
If you fancy putting your music knowledge to the test and being part of a special one-off evening with one of the UK’s best-loved comedy actors, John Thomson, then come along to the
Forever Manchester Pop Music Quiz
The Plant Room at Freight Island
Thursday 26thSeptember 2024.
It’s the perfect opportunity for a night out with friends or a chance to get the office together and raise some money for Forever Manchester to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester.
Following its success last September, the Forever Manchester team are bringing back its Pop Music Quiz event with comedian, actor, narrator and all-round fabulous TV personality, John Thomson as MC/quiz master.
John Thomson is already familiar with Forever Manchester, having headlined its fundraising comedy nights, plus he is regular MC at the Pop Quiz at The Edge Theatre & Arts Centre in Chorlton, which is organised by Forever Manchester Ambassador Alison Bell.
The themes for the Pop Music Quiz rounds will include topics such as Manchester Music, Novelty Records, Real Names and a Lyrics round where John puts his own stamp on the quiz with his brilliant impersonations, including vocal visits from Sylvester Stallone, Tommy Cooper, Christopher Walken, and even our own Tony Wilson, to name just a few. John is also an ace drummer, with many other musical talents as well – who knows, he might even treat the quiz teams to his human beatbox skills!
Feeling up to the challenge? This Pop Music Quiz event is not your average pub quiz. To claim the top spot, the winning team needs to be equipped with an impressive knowledge of popular music from all eras and genres. There will be prizes on the night – one for the winning team and several individual *spot prizes* throughout the evening where John will shout out one-off questions to the captive audience.
Maximum Team Size: 6 people
