Seems like a right hassle to answer all of these questions. I think anyone who does get all of them done and correct deserves the £500 lol.

Wish I could be bothered to answer them!

Thanks for posting.

question 28 is definately c) Brief Encounter

I think maybe the answer is Bob Dylan. I've just found this website which includes this:

Jun-11th 1972

At short notice Bowie flys to New York with Tony DeFries (who negotiates with RCA for more funding) and attends one of four 8:30pm evening Madison Square Garden Elvis Presley concerts held in New York. Entertainment history is made as Elvis, in advance, sells out all four engagements at Madison Square Garden. Among the 80,000 attendees were John Lennon, George Harrison, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Art Gurfunkel. Elvis's stirring rendition of "An American Trilogy" was a highlight. Surprisingly, this was Elvis' first live concert in New York City.

Talk of Warhol and Bowie in 1972 seems to focus on a concert later in the year at Carnegie Hall.

I'll keep looking for something more definite though.
