The challenge is to work out the name of a band or solo artiste from the cryptic clues.
For example… ‘Mail to Bugsy’ = Post Malone

Entries to be emailed (to jeremy@cdpweb.co.uk) or posted to us by close of play on Wednesday 8th January 2020.

The entry with the most correct answers will win a case of wine. We don’t believe anyone is rock n’ roll enough to get them all correct (but we have been proved wrong in the past).

In the event of a tie, the winner – there can be only one! – will be drawn from the official ‘CDP Pop Quiz Hat’.

A list of correct answers will be posted on our website from 14th January 2020.

Once again we are supporting CRASH, the construction industry’s charity that assists homeless and hospice charities through construction related projects. We shall make a donation to CRASH for every entry we receive. The more we receive, the more we donate.

So feel free to pass this quiz on to work colleagues, friends, family and – why not? – the world… Good luck!
